After lunch with Mindy, I had most of the day free. I took a chance for some 'me time'. My Mindspace was clear, except the stick and Zircon and no one accompanying me. It was a pleasant change of pace. I spent the day just walking around the College looking at things. Looking at other stuff. I even had a stroll down to the lake.
But with being on my own, it made me realise my enmeshed problem was still very much a thing. Other than my Psionic growth coming to a standstill at sixteen, the other reason I originally left home world was because of the fact the hive was doing hivemind shenanigans without realising. We were becoming co-dependent, becoming one.
This trip was supposed to be a chance to explore myself, but in the end I still cannot fathom spending time away from Orchid and Onyx. I need at least one bit of hive goodness near me at all times.
