"A direct connection is private and takes consent, even as wild as Ziggy is." Tom comments. "Antehans who connect with the same person often can become bound. My wife senses me. Ziggy can feel the moment Hiroki enters the Nexus from his own universe. It's not something that they go into without talk and preparation."

"It's more than that." Tom says even if the basics were right. "His intoxication is an everyday things. He's self medicating to deal with humans. Thomas and my wife have methods other than cocaine."

Tom sighs a little and considers their description. "That would only be a part of it. Ziggy projects his emotions from being on stage but he also takes in what comes from the crowd and amplifies it when he sends it back. That's why huge crowds get crazy. I honestly didn't know how it happened until the other Antheans experienced it and could explain what was happening."
