This Condition is usually inflicted on someone for whom another person wants to watch a life event unfold, such as a marriage/divorce, a First Change, a pregnancy, or an Awakening. Both the person who is being monitored and the person doing the vicarious viewing have this Condition, and if it is resolved on one party, it resolves on both.\n\nExperiences that are directly pertinent to the life event deliver sensory visions to the viewer. These visions might be shared dreams with the person being monitored, but might also be feeling a baby's first kick against the womb's walls or looking in a mirror and seeing a Wolf-Blood's teeth growing sharper. The exact nature of these details is up to Storyteller discretion, but pertinent details should not be withheld. Experiences that are not pertinent are completely omitted. Vicariously watching a person's Awakening skips scenes where the target spills coffee on their TPS reports.\n\nThese visions impose the Stunned Tilt on the one vicariously watching for a turn, but since these visions are so transient, it is not enough to interrupt a supernatural ritual or an extended action, but can be extremely inconvenient in time-sensitive circumstances such as combat.",
:resolution => "The life experience ends. The Awakening or First Change terminates. The child is born. The marital vows are complete or the divorce finalized.",
