"A great many citizens are walking circuitous paths. You follow them at a distance, unobserved, as they go through identical motions like automatons around a clock. Their gestures are not only sluggish, but they follow similar patterns, as though they were actors performing rehearsed parts."[1]
Cline is a kingdom of snails: a citadel built of shells,[2] situated beside a massive crater.[3]
Slow and Steady
"By way of explanation, the Shrouded Man faces away from you and lets the sheet around his body drop below his shoulders. A spiral shell protrudes from the base of his neck, like a snail mounted in a museum. It twists counter-clockwise, flat against his back. Unlike the one on the table, this shell looks glossy, more vibrant, alive. Everyone in Cline must have one – some larger than others. That would explain their stiff movements and hunched postures."[4]
Cline's inhabitants, though otherwise human, all have snail shells upon their backs.[5] These shells, which hinder their owners' movements and appear to make their behavior more snail-like,[6] are a manifestation of one's regrets.[7][8]
