                        Modal subordination connects to counterfactual conditionals.

                        "If a wolf came, it would eat you." has similar structure.

                                @cite{hofmann-2025} distinguishes three accessibility classes:

                                1. Veridical: Entity asserted to exist
                                2. Hypothetical: Entity exists in considered possibilities
                                3. Counterfactual: Entity exists in non-actual possibilities

                                Modal subordination involves hypothetical → hypothetical transition.
