Body Pattern · Cold / Dry / Tense
You run cold, dry, and tight, depleted but unable to rest.
You run cold, your tissues are dry, and yet you cannot relax. A system under tension with insufficient resources to sustain it. The string is taut, but the bow is brittle. You tend toward thoughtfulness and analytical ability, but the tension axis adds anxiety and hypervigilance that prevents the rest your depleted system needs.
