Has anyone ever lost one of their tethers?

Not find them broken or destroyed, just lose them.

The information on our devices says losing one would plunge me into a Harrowing, but that didn't happen. At least, not that I know of. But it's just gone. Completely gone.

[ hi5 on that. that, and she doesn't want to worry certain people. ]

Did they appear after your tether vanished?

[rumination]

I noticed the tether was missing one morning and discovered him a day later.

[unalign]

[ this information is making her blank out for a moment ]

And the tether was related to them, right? Or was the tether the person in question?

[rumination]

It was the person in question.

[unalign]

I see.

It makes sense, then, that they'll disappear, given their purpose. But

[ she trails off ... this isn't the reunion she wanted!! ]

You didn't experience the Harrowing when you lost it, did you?

[rumination]

I did not.

[unalign]

[ that's a relief, even if it's not very clear what a harrowing is. still. ]

Thank you for the information.

If you want anything in return, please let me know.

[ she's willing to reveal herself!!! just to return the favor ]

That is unnecessary.

[ while it's not information he would ever share if he didn't have the anonymous feature, it's useful knowledge and he doesn't need anything in exchange for that ]

[rumination]

[ on second thought... ]

However, information would be appreciated if you discover what happened to your tether.

[ for research purposes. why did it happen? ]

I'll let you know. So far, I've yet to see them around.

My username with this device is 'traveler', if you would prefer I send you a message privately instead.

🔒

[rumination]

You can message me privately. My username here is 'yuheng.' I am curious to see if others experience this, and what it means.

🔒

[unalign]

Will do, thank you!

It's strange how no one else seems to know. You're the first to suggest it's a possible arrival of the person representing the tether.

🔒

[rumination]

Tethers and soulmates do not appear to have been researched much. A pity; we need more information.

🔒

[unalign]

Yeah, I haven't really found any books about it. Hence this inquiry to everyone.

A pity too that our supposed hosts aren't too forthcoming with information.

[ like honestly, amun needs to work on his people skills. ]

🔒

[rumination]

Have you found any relatively unknown information? I keep looking but their research is poor. They should be disappointed in their libraries.

🔒

[unalign]

[ and here i thought i tagged this! ]

No, not really. Their books gave very little information, and what information they gave was strange, to begin with.

🔒

[rumination]

And questions are rarely answered.

🔒

[unalign]

Have you tried reaching out to Amun?

🔒

[rumination]

I had questions regarding soul forging. It did not go far, although he directed me to what experiments had already been done.

🔒

[unalign]

Oh? What kind of experiments?

[ if it's weaponry ... then she's curious how it works! ]

🔒

[rumination]

Materials used for soul-forging, instead of souls. None of them have worked.
