The idea of trying to stay “desynchronized” instead of “synchronized” as a way of being more in touch with your mind (not less) is such a fascinating metaphor swap!
And I love and relate to this line: “This is all I want–getting these sensations, the colors, the textures, and everything else just right so the holo can bring comfort to others. Help them relax for just a moment.”
Thank you for your comment, so glad it resonated with you!
I forgot to mention this in the author notes but the title was actually inspired by the concept of "synchronizers" as in, signals that the brain uses to reset its internal clock (eg. daylight). It does sort of tie into the story but mostly I just thought it sounded cool!
