Object
A volatile object explodes with the intent to destroy you.
Do you run?
Fetch water?
Let yourself burn?
No. You respond with questions and sincerity.
The object collects itself only to redetonate and make a second attempt to harm you.
Approaching with caution does not work;
This is not your problem.
You can only respect the object’s placement and move through the pieces that pierce you.
