From Randy
A random (?) coincidence of probably minor importance: I went to the dentist today (first time at this particular dentist) and the person who took my photographs and X-rays was named Heather. This evening I read Fex and Coo Episode 1 and noted a character named Heather. I don't know any other Heathers. (Heather at the dentist did not look anything like Fex's girlfriend Heather.)
Looking forward to more episodes.

Hi Randy,
Thanks for this telling of your experience at the dentist. Yes, of course, one can explain away such an experience as a coincidence, but this not dissolve the feeling of “significance.” What this significance is exactly does not come easily. The reason is that one is still trying to explain it. The root meaning of explain is to “ flatten out,” The sense is to take the wrinkles out. This is exactly opposite of what psyche wants from such experiences. That want or desire is what I call the fictive purpose or potential of such experiences, as well as dreams, etc. The explanations lead no where but to drop them. Following this fictive hint leads somewhere. Where that is is unknown, uncertain, but following that path will lead somewhere of value. Fex & Coo is psychoactive and this is what you experienced when you encountered Heather.
I don’t know why teeth are such a source of synchronicity for me, but here’s another one: Today I read episode 2. Right as I read the sentence on page 61 that ends with “Mr. Moto
had survived an acute dental crisis.”, my smartwatch buzzed with a reminder about my orthodontist appointment tomorrow. Talk about weird timing!
