i think a lot, actually. the experience of being an imPort kind of heightens that everyone you know has been through some shit. so connecting isn't as hard as it is, in worlds where everyone is pretending that isn't the case. that we're all strong and alone and don't need eachother. it's so obvious we're neither of those things, here, because it's a given that most imPorts are out of their depth and alone, and that the system doesn't care.
