Konoka had come to appreciate their tether touch. Being able to feel a hand on her shoulder or graze a kiss when the only other body was a spaceship meant that she didn't have to wait to receive... or give. Konoka could hug back, though it took a little practice to figure out how to share.

The flight resumed uneventfully, and Konoka eventually guided herself back into a flying state once Star Gazer shifted back into the "upright" view. Thinking about both reciprocation and the odd dream she had, Konoka idly thought about how Star Gazer perceives the world, and how feeling it like she would might help.

Konoka remained quiet, trying to recall those senses she had, hypnotized into her.
