	|QuestionText=Sorry to <i>immediately</i> break this in, but if someone had their pair-bond buddy taken and tortured, how much of that (physically, emotionally) would they feel if they were on the outside, unkidnapped? Is there a limit or is it dampened by Patho-Gen's HQ's protection somehow? What about if both pair-bond parties are taken? <div class="edittime"><em>Edited <span class="datetime"><span class="comment-date-text"> </span> <span title="">2025-10-05 10:31 pm (local)</span></span></em></div>

    |AnswerText=If half of a pair bond were taken, while the other half was left behind- rather than feel any particular anguish from either's active experience, they would each feel an uncomfortable <i>absence</i>. It would be an unpleasantly empty, stifled sensation. For characters who've experienced the loss of an imprint (or pair bond), it's notably different from that; this is still very much a connection to <i>something</i>. There is someone on each end of it. But the interference is such that it leaves the connection barren. <br><br>Unsettling... it's a confirmation that the other character is still there, but it would be impossible to tell anything of their current state.<br><br>If both characters were taken, any emotional resonance would function as it normally does; it seems as though whatever interference that's in play only separates the two locations, rather than smothering it completely.
