people who’ve lost someone they deeply loved have a part of themselves that grew together with that person, like trees with spliced-together branches. field-programmed neurology that literally exists to connect to and be completed by that person

nothing in the line of a study that'd support that specific statement tbh i don't feel like i'm making an unscientific statement, more like if science had noted that rocks fall down when you drop them and i extrapolate to rocks falling on a rock underneath you when you drop them
