Few people know that the human brain feels and processes social rejection as a litteral, physical hurt.

Few people know that oxytocyn, the hormone that induces love and bonding towards those one holds dear, also kindles feeling of wariness and schadenfreude towards strangers and outcasts. A natural mechanism of survival, of course: protect your kin, anyone else can rot.

The Scoriantheme is this. It is born of your nerves, of your cells, struggling for the phantom pain of heartbreak and ostracism to become flesh and blood, something it can mend, something it can heal from. In those days where people rely on each other to survive, where love is a resource like any other (needed to survive, rare to found and easy to deplete), where solitude brings nothing but death and silence and time to drown in your own thoughts of despair and resentment, it has never been more strong.
