===Psychological Effects=== Capes within multiple trigger groups tend to be hostile towards each other<ref name="WD1">Relatively rare - one in twenty or less are multiple-triggers. To be used when the case calls for a multiple trigger, or it’s suitably large-scale and otherwise boring, you could justify a trigger event as a multi-trigger.<br> In such cases, multiple people trigger at the same time. This tends to produce a spread of lesser powers - often three or four powers, possibly with one major one, and often deviations. The powers are related between individuals, but the idea/power that gets emphasized or takes the lead in one individual will often be a minor power for others. Minor powers might not be emphasized at all. Powers tend to form a complementary theme.<br>[...]<br>Multiple-triggers are prone to animosity regarding the other triggerees in their ‘unit’, for lack of a better word.<br><br>Though distinct and not simultaneous, siblings born to the same cape parents show the same trends, with biases in what powers manifest and more small powers.<br><br>Worm Spoilers:<br>Multiple triggers are actually the endgame of the cycle, prior to the reabsorption and collapse. When virtually all individuals in the setting are parahumans, connected to shards, the introduction of multiple-triggers serves to stress-test powers and compare and contrast the smaller powers. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/17WIAhETdtVGSKzFuDYOT2_6U_MMXmTGyzCziYhCwozo/edit?pli=1# Weaverdice Rulebook]</ref> or extremely close partners. This is known as the "Kill/Kiss dynamic".<ref>Colloquially known as the kill/kiss dynamic, in cluster-triggers, there is a very high tendency toward passionate relationships, either hostility or partnership. Clusters have a 40% chance of one member murdering another, rising to a 50% chance when including attempted murder, 25% chance of a partnership forming, and a 10% incidence of partnership and murder coinciding. The term partnership is used for romantic pairings in instances where sexuality and gender allow, and close friendship or formed teams with members in other cases. In some (10% of) cases of close partnerships forming, the romantic pairing occurred despite one’s typical sexuality. - [[Glow-worm P.4]]</ref> According to one study, there is a 50% chance of at least one attempted murder in a cluster, and a 25% chance of at least one romantic partnership - and 10% of these romances form in spite of the partners' previous sexual identity.<ref>Clusters have a 40% chance of one member murdering another, rising to a 50% chance when including attempted murder, 25% chance of a partnership forming, and a 10% incidence of partnership and murder coinciding.

Messy - [https://www.parahumans.net/2017/10/28/glow-worm-0-4/ excerpt ]from [[Glow-worm P.4]]</ref> The effects of Kiss/Kill and bleedthrough become more intense in larger clusters.<ref>“It wouldn’t come to that,” Rain said. “Bleedthrough and kiss-kill are overstated. It wouldn’t happen in five minutes.”<br><br>“It’s more intense in large clusters,” Chris said.<br><br>“What?”<br><br>“I studied up on some things when I was on the team,” Chris said, his voice low and quiet. He looked away, scanning the walls, where only a few images flickered. “But you’re welcome to try. Just don’t include me while you’re at it. It wouldn’t be five minutes, but it wouldn’t be five years, either.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2020/02/04/infrared-19-8/ Excerpt] from [[Infrared 19.8]]</ref>
