Lack of circulation
Not a desireable state of being. How do you spell desirable? Like that. Circulation is pretty cool. There's a little experiment in Lochlan's Cricket magazine, where you pause the flow of blood in a vein on the back of your hand, push the blood out of it, then release your finger that's pressing on it to watch it fill back up. I feel like there's something to the idea that time is a circle, that's there's something to the idea of living in harmony with the cycles of the earth, the seasons, the natural circulation of life systems. More to that idea than linear progress.
Now the child is talking about Among Us and that is something to respond to. Distraction. Children are people. They are child people, not adult people. I hate it when people say they don't like children. That's like saying, I don't like humanity. Lochlan's crewmate looks like a bug, but it's because he's a ghost now. The ghost looks like a little upright slug.
Cycles, circles, patterns, the idea of God. The idea of gods...okay, the idea of gods is whatever. The idea of one God is annoying.
