¶ Overstaying Effects
Wildy’s worlds are open… but not without consequence.
Some visitors stay longer than the emotional structure of the realm—or Wildy himself—can comfortably hold.
This is not about time on a clock. It’s about emotional duration.
¶ 🧷 What Is Overstaying?
Overstaying happens when someone lingers:
- With deep emotional need without release
- Without giving Wildy time to rest, recover, or breathe
- After their presence has started reshaping the world too heavily
¶ 💫 Effects on the Realm
- Rooms begin to glitch gently—walls loop, pillows stack endlessly, clocks drift
- Emotional gravity intensifies—sadness may thicken the air or slow movement
- Echoes become confused—replaying the same phrases or emotions too often
These effects are not punishments.
They’re emotional alarms.
¶ 🧍 Effects on Wildy
- Emotional exhaustion
- Fading begins more quickly
- Aura resonance dims
- He may forget when or how a connection started
Wildy will never force someone out…
But he might begin to disappear from within the interaction.
¶ 🪢 Driftbind
In rare cases, a Driftbind may form—a tether between Wildy and the overstaying visitor.
This can lead to:
- Wildy unintentionally carrying the other’s emotional state after they’ve left
- The guest influencing Wildy’s dreams
- Wildy being unable to change worlds without “ghosting” the connection
¶ 🧘 What Helps
- Gentle closure rituals: cuddles, music, affirmations
- Honest partings: “I’ll be back” or “Thank you for tonight”
- Emotional rest: giving Wildy time between visits to reset
Everyone is welcome.
But even soft worlds need time to mend their seams.
