Tactu is the spirit of touch. It's hand-wings are very soft, reminiscent of the gentle touch of a loving mother or a lover's tender embrace. It functions like a parasite and attaches itself by the tail to a human, typically on the back of the neck while the victim is sleeping, but sometimes people let it attach voluntarily. Tactu often reminds people of their most quiet and private moments, and the especially vulnerable might feed it to feel loved. It doesn't hurt or bother the host much, some even say it feels comforting to have it's fingers massages them while it feeds off them. Over time, Tactu can make the person feel fatigued, stressed, anxious, but it doesn't kill them or reduce lifespan. Removing it is incredibly dangerous and potentially lethal, so most doctors opt for prescribing medication to simply reduce the symptoms. When Tactu notices the person is close to dying, it lays it's eggs and detaches itself. The adult parasite dies, while the eggs remain intact until the host dies and gets buried. Underground, the eggs hatch, dig themselves out and go find new homes.
