ALWAYS TEARS  IN MY EYES WHEN  USING THE 
                 MACHINE.                 
                                          
 I DON'T  THINK  IT'S  HORMONAL OVERLOAD. 
 THERE'S  NO GRIEF OR  JOY  AS  MY  WATER 
 ROLLS  DOWN  MY  FACE. I NOTICE  NOTHING 
 UNTIL MY CHIN  IS WET. WIPE IT OFF  WITH 
 THE BACK OF MY HAND. BUT I  USUALLY KEEP 
            CRYING FOR A WHILE.           
                                          
 I  THEORIZE  SOME  KIND OF  RESONANCE IN 
  THE NEURAL INTERFACE; SOME SATURATION   
 SIGNAL  BEING TRIPPED? THE CONNECTION IS 
        IMPERFECT AND OFTEN INDUCES       
  SINGLE-SENSE HALLUCINATIONS. ACUTE BUT  
 HOLLOW  HUNGER.  SAND  GRAINS  UNDER  MY 
  FINGERTIPS. STRANGE TASTES AND SCENTS.  
                                          
 AND  I  MEAN,  MAYBE  IT  ISN'T  TO  FAR 
 FETCHED  THAT  SOMETHING  LIKE THAT  CAN 
  CAUSE AUTONOMOUS REACTIONS? DRY MOUTH.  
    FINGER SPASMS. OPENED TEAR DUCTS.
