<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

But you can?

@Host

Sometimes.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

So when you open your eyes, you don’t understand anything that you see?

@Host

Not without a lot of effort, and the pain that comes with that makes it hard to focus.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

Yeah, but you say it like someone else could.

@Host

I suppose it might be possible, but I didn't intend that.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

What do you mean for you?

@Host

I mean that it's not possible for me to turn it off.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

And there’s no way to turn it off?

@Host

Not for me.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

Can you talk about that a little bit? What is it like?

@Host

It's hard to explain. My brain, even my eyes, aren't adapted to that much information. It's a lot like a recursive kaleidoscope of fractals, to look at. There's no way to understand it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

Why does it hurt?

@Host

I don't know. Partially from simple physical pain, but also because it's far too much to see at once.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

Because of pain?

@Host

Correct.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

What happened?

@Host

I began crying.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

When was that?

@Host

Around the third day after I was born.
