The fragment turns departure and staying into a fearful moment of revelation, ending in a rough theology of endurance.

The page is small but intense. Leaving and staying are separated into two stark positions, and fear makes the scene feel irreversible. The closing claim that 'WE ARE stones for / God' hardens human feeling into something burdened, sacrificial, and impersonal.

This reading remains provisional because the page transcript is partial/OCR-uncertain.
