“It made me think about this thing I learned on Discovery Channel: "phantom limb syndrome." It's where people who've lost a limb continue to feel its sensations - the bone, the skin, even the pain. But then they look down, only to be reminded there's nothing there, and the sensations vanish. I figure losing a person might be similar. The brain gets so used to someone being around, it tells you they're still here, even when they're gone and never coming back. Phantom person syndrome.”
