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.

[ no!! ]

Which are effective deterrents from a person moving on, if you think about it. I mean, why move on when you can fulfill fantasies you've never really given in to before.

[nagano]

[ :) ]

...Why indeed.

A Shadow's tactics will vary from person to person, but at the root of it all, they're born from our psyches. They express our desires and impulses.

It's only natural that some would succumb to those temptations.

Have you tried it?

[ I MEAN HE WILL SOON, BUT ]

[nagano]

[ SHHHHHHHHHHHH ]

Absolutely not.

[ Not voluntarily, at least. A few close calls spring to mind where he's almost murdered a Badaliscus or Harpy, but... ]

Those urges are suppressed for a reason.

[ it makes her wonder what his urges are, which only makes her realize that there's not a lot she knows about kaito. hm. ]

I suppose. I guess it's also unpleasant, having to rattle inside of your own body.

[nagano]

Heh.
Sadly, I'm used to the noise. I'm sorry that the rest of you have to deal with this.

[ Oh, she gon learn. ]

[ she rejects this ]

Oh? You don't sound sorry at all.

[nagano]

Tone carries poorly over text.
I don't envy any of you. I'm just used to it. It's easier for me to ignore my Shadow's voice, most of the time.

But not all the time. I've already learned that the hard way.

[ she was just kidding ... he didn't have to take her very seriously. ]

From a recent incident?
