Silent Hedges
Silent Hedges was the first sidesystem in our written history, but they may have existed in the past, or possibly be old fragments that didn't elaborate until 2023. While they did not join with amnesia, they did have their own headspace apart from the main system we had at the time, and they considered themselves their own unit aside from the rest of the system.
In their timeline, they were the system of a genderqueer gay man born in 1975 with the name Brian Morrissey. Mori is the one most aligned with being the original of this system. They experienced trauma in the 1970s-2000s that is equivalent to our trauma in the 1990s-2020s but in a different time.
They are all goth or alt in some way, and in their timeline, they were in a lot of bands, including a Bauhaus tribute band similar to one from the area we grew up.
They are collectively dating the Crystal Cobwebs sidesystem, particularly Mori and Vyvian with each other. They have two layers - Dark Entries (headmates that Mori had in his timeline) and Flat Field (headmates that Mori did not have in his timeline or who split in reference to this-life events moreso than being recovered from Mori's past).
