The Volvo window and the "word" — a conjugal pall

texture · days before 1 Apr YTSDB, per Orin via Bain

• When: "in the days prior to Dr. Incandenza's felo de se," ~late YTMP/early YTSDB (early 2004)
• What: Bain's "only other apposite fact" — got not from Orin but from an "innocent female relative" who'd been intimate with Orin — is that "some incident occurred in the Incandenzas' Volvo involving one of the windows and a word": per Orin, in the days before JOI's death "a so-called 'word' appeared on a 'fogged' 'window' of Mrs. Inc's pale yellow Volvo, and the word cast a conjugal pall in all sorts of directions." The parallel telling (n080, Joelle's relayed account): Avril "had been with someone (Orin would not say who or whether he knew who) in the Volvo" and had "idly written the person's first name in the steam of the steamed-up car window," the name disappearing with the steam and reappearing "the next time the window had steamed up," which was "when James had been driving to this very brownstone" to film Joelle. Same as printed locus, Orin-sourced both times, feeding both open cruxes (and see the triple-motif Dating note: n269 word / 170 footprints / n080 name).
