Ooooh... I like this one!
T would definitely be the pawns. I’m seeing an epic Zoroastrian battle of good (T and I) v. evil (my trauma) Yes, taking a bit of liberty here. T, out front preparing the field, exposed with limited moves, unable to take back any step he takes. All the responsibility and none of the control. He has several of “him” on the board representing the different tools and styles he has available to him as a T. Knowing when and where to place a skill defines his strength or weakness.
