Have you ever had a good massage? A common technique is to hold your tense muscles in place for 20-30 seconds. The muscle can't stay tense under pressure for long. They eventually relax.

Liminal places are more unnatural than most. When humans create one, the bounds of reality are stretched and tense. By staying too long, something has to give. In this case, it was the bounds of existence. Your experiences were from nearby realities.

Good thing you didn't fall right thru. You probably had a few close calls you didn't even notice.

You'd do best to stay right here. Empathy, compassion, and general civility are rare even in our own world. You saw that in Club Red.
