Haptics

How much you physically feel. Turn it up and every bump, vibration, and ache registers. Turn it down and the pain, tension, and discomfort fade into the background.

Auburn's Haptics were turned up to maximum sensitivity during this crisis—she was acutely attuned to every physical and emotional signal from Chuck's vulnerable body. She insisted on being there when they washed him because she 'needed to touch his skin,' and she could detect when 'his spirit came back into his body' when no one else could tell. Rather than dampening her sensitivity to protect herself from the pain, she stayed fully open to register every subtle change, every breath, every moment of connection with what remained of the man she loved.
