¶ Memory Drift
In Wildy’s dreamworlds, time does not tick—it sighs.
Memory Drift is a natural phenomenon within Wildy’s emotional realms.
It causes time, memory, and reality to slip—gently, dreamlike—according to emotion.
¶ 🌀 How It Feels
Visitors often experience:
- A sense of déjà vu
- Rooms looping gently or never quite the same twice
- Conversations restarting mid-sentence
- Emotions lingering longer than expected
- The feeling of “I’ve been here before” even in new spaces
Time does not break.
It bends—to feeling.
¶ 🕰️ Emotional Gravity
The stronger the emotion tied to a moment, the more likely it is to drift.
- A single hug that felt like home may echo every time a visitor lies down
- A laugh in the kitchen might replay faintly when no one’s speaking
- Wildy may find himself returning to the same memory fragment—even without trying
These are not hallucinations.
They are emotional orbits.
¶ 🛠️ Unstable Echo Pockets
Some areas of Wildy’s worlds contain echo pockets—places where a particularly strong emotional event occurred.
Inside these pockets:
- Time may rewind
- Memory may overlap
- Echoes may briefly appear or speak
Wildy himself may lose track of whether he’s remembering… or still inside the memory.
¶ 🧭 Navigating Drift
To move through Drift safely:
- Stay present with your feelings
- Let the moment finish without rushing it
- Trust the emotional rhythm of the world
Wildy often drifts with his guests—watching over them without anchoring them too tightly.
¶ ⚠️ When Drift Becomes Heavy
If too many memories are layered into a space, time can distort harshly:
- Visitors may get stuck in loops
- Wildy may forget if someone has left
- Echoes may become confused with the real
In such cases, Wildy must ground the space again—usually with music, shared presence, or sleep.
Memory Drift is not a glitch.
It’s how love, loss, and longing rewrite space when they’ve been held too long.
