“It’s an accumulation. Every day and every thing reminds you that you don’t fit. Starfolk weren’t allowed to be married, or to have kids, but there are so many other obligations that connect a person to their social network and structure. And they haven’t kept up with any of it for twenty-eight years. The profiles from before the starshot and after it are like two different people. These people couldn’t handle it. I’m not sure how many others. It seems to trigger a major depression, even in people selected for personalities that don’t get depressed. I’m calling it Temporal Alienation Syndrome.”
