I don’t deny multiples’ lived experience. Let’s start with that. Each headmate is a person.
Some multiples have visitors. People come from other worlds, hang out in the headspace, and go away again. Even if I don’t believe their worlds are real, the visitors are apparently real enough while they’re present.
Reality shifters believe the worlds they visit and the people they talk to are real. That seems like the equal and opposite of having a visitor in your headspace. Perhaps the people the shifters talk to are real for the duration of the conversation, whatever “real” means in this context.
Other shifters are horrified whenever a shifter goes to a world and tortures someone there. They say that’s like torturing someone in real life. What if they’re actually right?
