Secret 5 - Soulbounders/soulbounding

[transcriptanon]

[Picture is a screen-capture of the LiveJournal account (community?) "Soulbonding". It has the following "about" text:

"In order to fully appreciate fiction - to enjoy it and to benefit from it - it is necessary to, as they say, "suspend your disbelief." While you're reading a book or watching a movie or even playing a video game you can't think to yourself, "This is only fiction. This has no relevance to me whatsoever. It did not happen. The people are not real." You take an interest. You feel empathy. You know the characters. Sometimes, all of that ends when the story is over and you return to reality, but not always."]

[Text from the secret maker]

I might be one of you and it scares me.

Notes

[transcriptanon]

Soulbounding/Soulbounders: a subculture in fandom united by the belief that fictional characters are real on some spirit-like level and that the fan has a deep spiritual, emotional, empathetic and/or psychic connection to one or more of them.
