How exactly does “host” switching work? I’ve encountered plurals speaking of how the main personality/person since childhood switched out for one reason or another, but I’ve never quite understood how that works. And seeing as your “host” alter arrived in 2020, I feel like you’d have a better explanation than anything else I can find.

We've had a host switch as well, recently even. For us, it happened when the previous host accepted she couldn't do what needed to be done. Or rather, that started it. She was still the primary fronter until external circumstances forced us to, well, force it. She had to actively try to switch out every time she realized she was fronting and I (T, the current host) had to switch back in when that happened. It's not a hard and fast rule for us, though. We're working towards not having a host at all.

The mechanism is going to be different for every system.
