It was worth a venture, but this hairstyle isn’t working for you&. You& reconstitute its former length, and make it even longer. It’s just too important a stim toy not to have. You&‘re keeping the wires, though, woven in with braids along the sides of your& head.

You& feel down into the depths--this void stretches far in two directions. You& descend toward where your& Aydan side feels drawn to, arriving at the root of Aydan’s system. You& feel around the deep abysses and narrow corridors around you&, but you& don’t seem to have any sense of how to navigate this space.

Usually, you think, there is a main, central headspace somewhere, like our entry node when we retreat into our own thoughts.

I’m not used to navigating headspace by touch, you think, feeling confused.

Okay, there is another technique I know. Let’s construct a temporary headspace here where we are. That feels like a good idea. But your& network of semantic concepts is a discordant thought system, hard to find your way through the connections right now. Just use our imagination, whatever comes to mind, create.
