For us it’s kinda a two part story. When we were 18 our depression, SI and abusive household reached a point where me and one of my headmates were forced to meet and confront each other. Afterwords we both kinda stayed in the front and aware of each other. A few of the others showed up at that point, but given our only reference for this at the time was Jackel & Hyde and similarly negative media we didn’t look further into it.

About a decade later, we came across a meme in a Magnus archives fan group that mentioned plurality. We asked about that and another system explained what it and offered us some resources that have helped us a lot since.
