John had found himself in possession of the enigmatic Scar of Eanna, its origin shrouded in the deepest obscurity. A profound and unbreakable bond ensued as he connected with this artifact, to the point where he became inseparably fused with it. This remarkable connection, over time, seamlessly integrated the Scar into his very chest, resulting in an extraordinary transformation. What once appeared to be a peculiar metallic imprint bore an uncanny resemblance to an intricate and otherworldly tattoo. To a casual observer, John might have struck an impression as a devoted adherent to some mystical faith. However, upon closer scrutiny, the observer would experience a profound and unsettling sensation, akin to encountering an enigma that defied conventional explanation.
The necklace/scar exerts a profound influence on John's mind. Whenever he can't unequivocally confirm its presence, a potent cocktail of panic and fear engulfs him. This goes beyond the mere sensation of its weight against his chest. If he can't currently see its luminous metallic luster, feel the warmth radiating through his hand, observe the subtle yet undeniable impact it has on those nearby, or hear the faint sizzle of its utilization, he finds himself ensnared in a paralyzing web of uncertainty. It's akin to a Schrรถdinger's Cat scenario, teetering on the brink of existential dread, desperately gasping for confirmation through every available sense. Without this validation, he experiences an inner decay, his very being slowly withering.

Finally, the girls are fusing the way theyโve wanted to since they began Contracting, three and a half years ago.
