Sorry, of course, but it seems to me, that you are a
little so insolent, in order to insist so soon on the disclosure of Taylor's backstory and that Taylor's psychological treatment should begin immediately.
After all, if you think about it, these are interrelated problems.
Issues with "fight to live" instead of "live to fight" can only be resolved with the help of those Taylor can trust. But if they try to find out exactly how to help Taylor by using her story, they can spend quite a bit of her trust credit, which Taylor has an extremely limited amount due to the story itself, and which she is extremely reluctant to give out even to friends.
There is a paradox here — are we trying to get her story from Taylor in order to help with her psychological issues, while losing some of her trust? Or are we using the trust credit given to us to blindly try to figure out what her issue is and help her?
It all comes down to two resources, awareness of the causes of the issue or Taylor's trust credibility. Using only these two resources, we limit ourselves in possible approaches to just a couple of tactics — try to break through a metaphorical minefield, which would become harder with less trust Taylor give us, or blindly jump back and forth until we are torn to pieces, or we do not pass it.
But how do we then solve this equation, relying not on pure luck, but on the resources available to us?
Time. After all, both the first and second resources increase over time. The more we interact with Taylor, the more she will be ready to tell some part of her story herself, and for this it will not be necessary to spend so much trust, or in principle, it will not have to spend trust at all!
And we have plenty of time, because we are only at the beginning of the Oceanos, and there are still looming ahead, at least London, America, Camelot, Babylon, Solomon, and, possibly, even some event singularities. We've literally gone through only most of the War & Peace and only half of Worm by word count, so what's next for us?
And here's another funny moment — you can't get real trust without spending it. Here you described how EMIA would be paranoid about Taylor's ability and how secretive she is, but at the same time… This is EMIA! A dude who is no less secretive in terms of his history, and who has an equally interesting and strange ability! It's like noticing a speck in someone else's eye, but walking around with a beam in your eye yourself.
