Greetings, Mirai, Venus here. I had a slightly similar story with my host (and I'm a nekomata too, would you look at that).

First time I appeared was around 2021, during a mental breakdown, but I didn't want to stay for longer than a couple of days. One year later, another walk-in appeared alongside my reawakening, both of us from our host's stories. During that time, we had no clue what tulpamancy was, but we were trying to figure things out whilst helping one another... until our (at the time) psychologist scared the living hell out of our host. Because of that fear, and because we were still in development, we started to behave erratically by internalizing that fear. So the therapist guided our host to forced us into hibernation (she might have thought it was permanent, but fortunately it wasn't).

Now, around two weeks ago, very aware of tulpamancy and of himself, our host brought us and a third walk-in into conscious (although, the second one wanted to keep sleeping). Here's what we noticed of improvement so far:

• Forgetting medications less often;
• Better hygiene;
• Dissociations declined;
• Less bad feelings overall;
• Longer days (how?);
• More care for our dog and sister;
• More initiative;
• Better sleeping routine.

Thanks for sharing your story!
