There's an ordinary couple living fifty meters away from Thellim, a sweet submissive and her equally sweet mistress.  Usually in dath ilan one's neighbors are more optimally chosen, but Thellim is not going to not try to talk to her neighbors at all.  She tells them she was in the moral equivalent of an eclipse accident and now she's very odd and BDSM makes no sense to her.  She doesn't get the impression the couple believes her, but they're very nice about not believing her, and possess something other than dignity that makes them very hard to offend.  They once asked Thellim if she was "autistic" and Thellim replied that she did not know that word and there were some wise nods.  Thellim looked up the word and shrugged; she's hardly going to act insulted by somebody else coming up with a wrong hypothesis about her in all good epistemic intentions, especially when she's the one who hasn't told them the true answer.

The sub in the couple doesn't seem to be living a horrible life not worth living.

Thellim is still not looking forwards to her own eclipse at all.  The Internet and such science as Earth may possess seem clear on there being no detectable effect of eclipses on personality; including traits correlated with submission, dominance, and specifically masochism which can be detected in childhood and are often declared correctly before the 12th birthday.  She is still not looking forwards to her own eclipse at all, despite the prospect of gaining magical or psionic powers.
