"Mr. Jos. R-- has come down with a curious malady leaving him bedridden at his P-- home. Mr. R--, who was good enough to give The Democrat his account of the Odd Fellow's latest "drekzel" party last week, has long shown signs of extreme overexposure to mineral. This aliment is not uncommon for miners such as Mr. R--, but he has since been struck down by grim tremors and a solidity of the joints that leaves him frozen in place for great spans of time. Dr. S--, of the same town, is caring for Mr. R-- and urges readers who exhibit similar troubles to come to him at once." - first recorded account of the Affliction from The Iowa Democrat, August 30, 1878

The Affliction (aka the Despair or das Leid) is a fictionalized disease that's a main component in all parts of tEoEH. For this illness, I took a lot of inspiration from accounts of lead poisoning and the much later encephalitis lethargica pandemic of the 1920s, the latter of which killed my great-granduncle in a matter of weeks in 1925. While the cause of the Affliction remains unknown in universe, people begin to associate the illness and its treatment with Iowa Lodge's spiritual activities, leading to a more insular and isolated Lodge in the final decades of the 19th century.

When I walked across a room I saw myself walking as if I were someone else, when I picked up a fork, when I pulled off a dress, as if I were in a movie. It's what I thought you saw when you looked at me. So when I looked at you, I didn’t see you I saw the me I thought you saw, as if I were someone else. I called that outside—watching. Well I didn’t call it anything when it happened all the time. But one morning after I stopped the pills—standing in the kitchen for one second I was inside looking out. Then I popped back outside. And saw myself looking. Would it happen again? It did, a few days later. My friend Wendy was pulling on her winter coat, standing by the kitchen door and suddenly I was inside and I saw her. I looked out from my own eyes and I saw: her eyes: blue gray transparent and inside them: Wendy herself! Then I was outside again, and Wendy was saying, Bye-bye, see you soon, as if Nothing Had Happened. She hadn’t noticed. She hadn’t known that I’d Been There for Maybe 40 Seconds, and that then I was Gone. She hadn’t noticed that I Hadn’t Been There for Months, years, the entire time she’d known me. I needn’t have been embarrassed to have been there for those seconds; she had not Noticed The Difference. This happened on and off for weeks, and then I was looking at my old friend John: : suddenly I was in: and I saw him, and he: (and this was almost unbearable) he saw me see him, and I saw him see me. He said something like, You're going to be ok now, or, It's been difficult hasn't it, but what he said mattered only a little. We met—in our mutual gaze—in between a third place I'd not yet been.
