    You would think they would all be embarrassed anyway, on account of their snacking on onions.

    I guess it’s a bit like real-life hypnotism then; there’s only so much you can force someone to do outside of their comfort zone before the effect breaks down.

    I guess so. I hope Mildred keeps her real self. An odd question; I’ve heard all my life the term “Nooks and Crannies” I picture a Nook as something like a small closet-like place, but I never thought of what a Cranny looks like. Would that be similar to a cubby? What other words might describe Crannies?Also still curious about how Lem recovered. Maybe his kind, “Aliens?” can reconstruct? and why would it leave onion bits all over the place?I was thinking deeply on the story’s little questions.
