"A savage race, that hoard, and sleep, and feed...know not me.
I cannot rest from travel."
-Tennyson, Alfred, Lord
Ulysses 5
<Elixir> Pathetic plea.
<Elixir> Pathetic plea
<I need an Elixir> Self-evident declaration
<Help me>! Punctuated despair and pathetic plea
<Anyone have an Elixir>? Rhetorical question and wishful thinking
<Please help me> Pathetic plea and self-evident futility
<...> Pause and resumption
<My poor feet> Plaintive self-pity

<...> Pause and resumption
<...>? Awareness and interest
<...>! Sudden realization and flood of jubilance
<There is Balamb Garden>! Second and self-evident declaration
<...> Self-reassurance and calmness
<There is someone coming>! Awareness and suspicion
<Who is there>? Nonspecifically directed interrogative
<Squall>? Quasi-specifically directed interrogative and wishful thinking
<Squall>! Reckless presumption and exuberance
<Is that you>? Quasi-specifically directed interrogative
<Hey, Squall> Relation-creative-purposive address and wavering certainty
<...> Pause and closer inspection
<...>! Awareness and corollary certainty
<Squall, are you there>? Quasi-specifically directed interrogative, extended presumption, uncertainty, and incipient inquietude
<Heavens>! Awareness and reflex panic
<Help me, someone>! Nonspecifically directed imperative directive, growing panic, and wishful thinking
<Squall>! Reflex defensive assertion and specifically directed, imbedded directive
<Please, no> Plaintive plea, specifically directed, elliptical imperative directive, deplorable capitulation, and fear
<Please> Plaintive plea, specifically directed, imperative directive, and unmitigated fear
<NO>! Awareness, plaintive plea, specifically directed, elliptical imperative directive and recoil
