:It sounds like the - uncontrolled part of Yfandes - is fully on board with supporting Vanyel.  At least that avoids some ethical dilemmas that might otherwise exist.  Even if there was some previous Yfandes who wouldn't have liked what she became, the current person takes ethical priority over the past person.  If we see a way to help Vanyel from Yfandes's side of the bond, I won't feel bad about taking it.:

:So let's look next - if we can - at what Yfandes's mind is doing to support Vanyel from this side of their bond.  The part right at the interface to Vanyel; see if we can figure out what the tapestry is doing, maybe zoom in on one of the threads making it up and ask what just that one thread is doing.  I mean, what we want is to synchronize Mindspeech activity-reading with Mindhealing state-reading, but if you can't already do that, it's probably more of a research project.  And asking for a full mindread of Yfandes, or Vanyel, probably comes with all kinds of security implications... it's not clear that we're desperate enough to ask for that right now.  Normal techniques first.  What can we see, from this vantage point, about what Yfandes's mind is doing to support Vanyel's mind through their bond, that partially but not fully replaced the lifebond?:
