Aha, so the string reacts to some objects and doesn’t to others. Things like clothing and paper, are able to be passed without a problem. while objects that have more density/substance, like a door or wall, have a harder time. If at all. The only living creatures that can touch the string are the two connected. other humans and animals cannot touch it. They just go right through. :P
they calmed down enough that the string allowed them a little clearance for the shirt to be put on, but I’m sure Once Ned is forced to shower, It’ll change.
