So, unburdened by higher brain function, Twiggy apparently goes for the one lizard-brain thing she wants most, the one thing she can't logic away:  a hug from mom.But here's what's cool about this scene that you'd never know from the write-up:  wisdomlikesilence isn't the only one who didn't know what Twiggy was up to.  I didn't either!  I told fajitas that the one thing twiggy wanted most was not to *think* for a few hours...and let him decide what she did with the time.  All I knew, before asking him for the write-up, was that Arden found her curled up asleep in the lap of someone who looked like Mariela.  fajitas filled in the rest -- that she went back to the polymorpher and asked him to transform into her mother-- just a few days ago.  We played this session over a year ago! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />So...there is no overthinking in this game.  None at all.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
