    I don’t see anyone talking about the cicada imagery at the end. If this girl was going to prom… she was likely 17, somewhere in that range. Cicadas only live for about 17 years. They hatch from an egg, burrow underground, and live there for about 17 years. Only after that amount of time do they become mature enough to mate and fertilize or lay eggs, after about two weeks of which they die. Marie was the earth that Gloria burrowed into, only to emerge from inside her after 17 years. Now I wonder how long she’ll get away with being Marie

      I am ADHD autistic (born that way) and have acquired mental illness as an adult (PTSD / social anxiety).
      I found that adopting a dog helps me function as a developmentally disabled adult. My brain can't do internal motivation and executive functioning because of the lesions on my prefrontal cortex and atypical dopamine, but the external motivation of having a dog to take care of helps me keep a daily schedule.
      I read about someone with schizophrenia who had a service dog who would respond to sounds. If the person heard a noise and the dog didn't respond, the person knew it was an auditory hallucination.
      Support from others, human or animal, is a great way to navigate life as a disabled / neurodivergent / mentally ill person. Trying to do it alone leads to burnout (in my experience).

    I like that Shane mentioned some people do not have an audible inner voice, I'm a part of that percentage of the population and the term for it is Anauralia. I also have Aphantasia, which is the inability to create mental images, so when someone asks something like: "Can you imagine...," it's impossible for me to do so. I always thought questions of the sort were metaphorical and didn't know others expected me to actually create a vivid mental image. When I close my eyes there is only darkness, and I am unable to hear my voice narrating my thoughts. Thoughts just appear in my mind and all I do is comprehend them.

      @@TheGuindo
      The easiest way to explain the thought process, without getting too abstract, would be that my mind instinctually thinks words without the assistance of any of the senses. Thoughts for me don't take any form, they come and go in the moment. Think of it like this: when you are speaking to someone face-to-face, you hear their words but you don't physically see the words leave their mouth like subtitles since the sound of speech, for the most part, doesn't have a physical form. It's an auditory experience that your brain processes and comprehends automatically. My brain simply thinks of words, processes them, and comprehends their meaning the same as anyone else's (without all the senses interfering). I'm sorry if this is confusing but it is a tricky topic to explain.

      Yes, I agree. My thoughts don't have an audible inner voice attached to them but I do conceptualize a "voice" for them, and as you said, by default there is no sound. Also, I relate to what your roommate explained about aphantasia, except, for myself, I'm able to dream with a visual sense to some degree but my ability to do that is very weak. However, when awake and conscious I'm unable to create that same mental imagery. Aphantasia is a spectrum and is different for each person who has it.

      It is also very, very important for mental health to not convict ourselves of "thought crimes," especially when dealing with symptoms outside of our personal control, like intrusive thoughts, negative impulses, hallucinations and delusions, etc. Intrusive thoughts, specifically, tend to be what a person considers most horrifying, distressing, taboo...

    An 8/10 tale! Loved the story until the end. I really thought this was gunna be purely medical; was hoping they would find a brain mass. Something causing her to hallucinate her subliminal (unnecessary but common) guilt for being the surviving twin. As she was privy to the info about her twin before she first heard the voice, she would have been under 6 finding out something rather hard to process? As the mass grew, it caused symptoms of a skitzo-spectrum disorder to grow over time; this increase causing paranoia and aggression eventually. Really thought this would be the route, and that she'd have the tumor removed and start living a normal life with some minor ptsd until one day in her elderly dimension, the tumor came back and the voice came back.
    Idk why I rewrote this whole thing in my mind. I'm sorry. Love yalls commentary just the same! I hope next seasons stories are just a little deeper/less shock factor than cicada milk cocoon and date night spaghetti boyfriend pile.

    I would like to clarify that the thing about one twin absorbing the other one in the womb isn’t actually how the vanishing twin syndrome work.
    Sometimes during pregnancy a twin dies and they either get reabsorb by the mothers body or get… flattened in there.
    There’s also the chimera syndrome but that is a completely different and rarer thing where the twins absorbed each other.
    Either way for anyone that had a vanishing twin… no you did not actually eat your sibling while in the womb (baby sharks do that tho).

    I think the people saying that they don't experience a running "voice" in their head are just interpreting the situation differently. Similar to how some people say they can think of an "apple" and then envision a perfect-looking apple in their "mind's eye," while others say they can't do that. I think everyone's actually pretty similar in these regards, but we interpret it differently, and/or just use different words to describe the same sensation.
    Because I would say that I have a running voice in my head, but if you were to press me on it, I certainly wouldn't describe it as an *actual* voice that I'm "hearing," it's simply my thoughts that are running through my mind sometimes (sometimes constantly, and other times, it's pretty "quiet"). I would also say that I can conjure up an apple in my mind's eye, but if you pressed me on it, I wouldn't say that I'm literally *seeing* an apple. I'm just thinking of one, and I know what they look like, so it just kinda *feels* like I can see it, because I can envision it pretty clearly. When I simply think of an apple, it's not like my eyes are even doing anything - it's all just in my head. Similar to the voice - my ears aren't *hearing* anything at all. It all just depends on how you describe it.
