Role: Twin crowd-control empaths, event security (Sunrise Rave and similar)

---

The twins worked crowd control at the Sunrise Rave — the ones who flagged, before sunrise, that the room's emotional weather was turning: too many pockets of unrest, anxiety, high feeling. The plan was theirs and Lin's together: the twins held the crowd unless things went wrong, at which point Lin would tap the conduit to gestalt and tell everyone to take a nap.

Things went wrong elsewhere; the crowd itself never needed the nap.

Lin taught them gestalt the next day, as promised — in the background, the way the best teaching happens. The Belt's Talent network grows by one twin pair, and the next Rave's crowd control will be something to see.
