This is like having Aphantasia, incapable of mental imagery or audio. The difference being a person with Aphantasia doesn’t have to get used to it, it just always is. A person who has this can never “picture it” as the saying goes. I can tell you having an active imagination and high creativity sucks with this. One can still come up with thoughts, ideas and concepts though. But there are absolutely no references of any kind to go along with them. When cartoons did the joke about counting sheep to fall asleep that’s all I thought it was, a joke. Never knew it was a “real” thing until much later in life. That’s why I admire artists and animators as much as I do.

Phoebe hadn’t mentioned it before now, because she was waiting to see how long it’d take before Marigold noticed it on her own.

We know about air, but then we have a neo-cortex that allows us to understand such things.

Reminds me of a similar, toothy scene from “Ace Ventura” …

Somebody apparently doesn’t brush her teeth. Phoebe needs to practice good oral hygiene.
