      You are correct. She will sometimes share consciousness with animals, leaving her body idle and outwardly appearing to have passed. To avoid mistakes, she holds a sign adorned with the text shown in the picture.

      edit 2: TIL that if you edit a comment twice in rapid succession, at least in Connect, it will post the original comment a second time. Anyway, I meant to say “shown in the picture” rather than “down in.”

      edit 3: “Rapid succession,” not “respond selection.” This comment has been a shit show. I should really learn to reread before finalizing a comment, or maybe not to post content on freshly waking up.
