the music is gone and with it
the small favors and familiars they brought
do you miss it?
do you miss them?
the colors were brighter
the sounds were louder
and some trick of the mind forgot
we were in a cage
or didn't and just
observed the decorations on the bars

More active influences have always been brief. [Says someone who has only been here for approximately three months. But he's seen a pattern. And he's been elsewhere, where patterns had also been established. Somewhat longer-term, but patterns nonetheless.]

Why do you refer to yourself that way?

what about inactive ones

pronouns are irrelevant, tricky, and traumatizing

Less power expenditure, perhaps not beyond the creation. No maintenance for them to stay.

Why traumatizing? [Yes, that's the descriptor he picks out among the others. She's not even the oddest person he's encountered on the issue. Thus far, she hasn't switched. Though it is early yet.]

perhaps. she's never had to worry about creating life from nothing.

because it is and was, that's all.

I would think most of us haven't.

You must have been in quite an unfortunate situation, if that's the case.
