I am preparing a thesis for the rhetorical analysis of a photograph, and I and looking for a word (adjective) that could be used to describe a realization. It should include the meaning of words like ‘shocking’ and ‘sudden’. Such a word would fit well in this sentence:
It was as she noticed the dark connection between her greatest
mysteries, the _______ realization set in.
