Lifeline

undefined:

A lifeline is a headmate who holds suicidal thoughts, memories, or acts. This headmate may be either more suicidal than the rest of the system, or significantly less due to desensitization. A lifeline is there to try and prevent attempts or the planning/consideration of attempting, but ends up absorbing thoughts and feelings. It is unlikely for this headmate to attempt suicide themself, but not impossible and can happen, same as any headmate.

History
The name "lifeline" was coined by the Pluralpedia Discord.
