she doesn't feel lines, she feels warmth and that warmth gives her a sudden body consciousness she hadn't before. she imagines her body, in her stupor, in an elementary way, and imagines her veins as lines stretching from her throat to her extremities, and sees the alcohol/blood coursing through these lines.
