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.

Haptics was set too intensely for young Mukosi, making him register every social interaction as overwhelming emotional input. At the science fair, his system was picking up every nuance of the adults' attention with crushing intensity—their questions felt like torture, their interest felt like persecution. By learning to adjust his Haptics setting from Intense to Noticeable, he could register social feedback without being overwhelmed by it. This allowed him to process that the adults were genuinely interested rather than being flooded by the intense emotional sensation of feeling judged.
