The physicality in this is extraordinary — texture, pressure, weight, heat. The jumper isn’t just an object, it becomes a system of control, inheritance, and punishment, and that final transformation feels both inevitable and devastating. The restraint of the narrator makes the ending land even harder.

Thank you! It relates to a childhood fear of mine that during the brief period I couldn't see while putting a jumper on, something horrible would happen.
