Extension

"You know how some people extend themselves too much, like, into their perceptions of the world, of others? Well I extend you. My empathic mechanism... Maybe empathy, it's a kind of modeling, right? Maybe for most people it's like a model airplane. It gives you a sense of the thing, but it doesn't get off the ground. Mine gets off the ground. It flies. It's not the thing itself, but it's closer than it should be. Too close, maybe, for comfort."
