i think people get so used to reading that when they go through an ego-shatteringly traumatic event, their brain and imagination and inner monologue become taken over by some sort of native language diarrhea automaton which reads words out loud in your own head & runs your body on autopilot while you somehow remain half-conscious

i think the automaton would maybe become aware of itself by parsing the language, even if the real weight of the implication isn't grasped by the conscious inhabiting the mind & body
regardless, i think the key and most important point is that some sort of disconnect can happen from traumatic events
dunno how you'd figure out more details
