    Plus, I've got this, I don't know exactly, but when people speak I feel their voices as if it's me making the noise (so, in my face/throat etc. in the right places) and JB's is one of the most distinctive physical sensations I've ever felt in nearly four decades of living with this whatever-it-is. Hence me fighting so hard to prove Nald'thal wasn't him, and having to find other reasons that weren't just "my nose feels wrong, it's not him" so people didn't think I was unhinged
    Without knowing anything about this, this could be a form of synaesthesia - I have that too, though mine's associative and visual (meaning I know what colour ANYTHING has, from feelings to names to flavours etc., but I don't actively see them - some people do).
    Generally, about 4% of people have some form of synaesthesia, and it means that one sense kinda bleeds into the others as there are synapses in the brain that normally aren't there.

    I've got various other synaesthesia type things going on, so I did consider that this might be related, but also I just have such a vivid memory that brings in all senses so sometimes I write off things that are probably synaesthesia as a physical memory.

    I can also "see" a different mood/vibe in music if the key is changed by even half a semitone which is a fun one when people record covers in a different key and I'm trying to figure out why the happy song is now giving "existential crisis"

    Anyway, day 746574657 and I still think it's not JB because 7.4 G'raha doesn't give me any pressure in my face, let alone JB-specific pressure. And also it didn't sound like him at all but let's use shoebill science here.
