[•] piedra de reunión _

En 1994 en Curacautin, frente al municipio, fue instalada una piedra con particulares inscripciones atribuidas a la cultura mapuche. Para ello, la roca fue bruscamente removida de su lugar y trasladada hasta la plaza del pueblo como una frívola atracción turística.

Los que saben, cuentan que la piedra es un espíritu, y que, producto de la transgresión extractivista, sufre, al igual que su lugar de origen, donde múltiples señales naturales indican el desequilibrio provocado.

Procedería restaurar este acto??

Tecton: Okay, let’s have slightly less fun with that fact.

Get over it and move on,' dismissal and immediately pulls into a protective turtle shell of, 'No, it's fine. I'll handle it myself,' vs Steve who hears that as 'I don't need your help, and i don't need you,' and gets a little frantic about it, and they spiral.
