Becoming_detached [change]
The Becoming_detached frame covers two situations: a scene in which one thing comes to be physically detached from something else; or a scene in which two things come to be disconnected from each other. In the first, the frame includes an Item that detaches from a Source, creating an asymmetric relationship between the Item and the Source. In the second, the Items detach from each other, where each serves as a Source relative to the other, creating a symmetric relationship between the two Items. The Items that were formerly attached re-appear as the two separate or potentially separate entities that they were throughout.
