[MERGED] Emma/Psyche

Emma/Psyche is a tarot reader and panel facilitator operating within adjacent esoteric streaming circles. She appears in the archive primarily as a figure of unresolved relational tension rather than as a direct voice — referenced by the host during a candid late-night discussion centered on fractured collaborations and community conflict.

Emma/Psyche's presence in the archive is mediated entirely through the host's recollection during EP.587, a late-night panel characterized by informal tone and emotional directness. The episode itself seems structured around examining the cost of creative partnership and public fallout — the host uses Emma/Psyche as a case study in this broader inquiry, suggesting her absence is itself narratively significant. The fact that she operates tarot readings and facilitates panels positions her as a peer working similar cultural territory, which contextualizes the rupture as one occurring between practitioners rather than between host and subject matter.

The episode's frame — "Let's Party Till The Wheels Fall Off" — suggests a deliberate shift toward vulnerability. Emma/Psyche's appearance here is as a named point of unresolved conflict rather than as a guest offering her own framing. This structural choice (host discussing former friend while in a more relaxed, unguarded state) indicates the archive is documenting not reconciliation or direct dialogue, but rather the aftermath of severing.
