    Yet another line that I couldn't fully understand while reading the story:

"Some instinct deep within him seems to scream a frantic warning, with the demanding intensity of a raw, exposed nerve .. yet nowhere does he behold a threat ..."

What is the underlined means?

Thanks for the help in advance.

Hi,

Yet another line that I couldn't fully understand while reading the story:

"Some instinct deep within him seems to scream a frantic warning, with the demanding intensity of a raw, exposed nerve .. yet nowhere does he behold a threat ..."

What is the underlined means?

You couldn't ignore such a strong warning, just like you can't ignore the intense pain of a raw, exposed nerve.
