Tips

 * Activating the recharges Safer Spaces immediately.
 * The is not capable of using the effects of Tougher Times, but he can use Safer Spaces. Players who have high stacks of this item should avoid finishing a run in this way, as when the final boss steals all items in the final phase of the fight, he will be nigh-invincible.

Math
The charge cooldown is determined by the formula $$f(x) = 15 \bullet 0.9^{x}$$, with x being the amount of Safer Spaces.


 * Voidtouched enemies gain the shield recharge behavior without any item stacks, therefore their cooldown is 15 seconds.
 * The minimum cooldown is 1 frame (0.0167 seconds), achieved with at least 65 stacks of Safer Spaces.

Trivia

 * This item appears to be a tardigrade, a microscopic animal sometimes known as a "water bear". Tardigrades are known for their incredible survivability and resilience, being found in locations that would kill almost any other animal.
 * The name "Safer Spaces" is a reversal of Tougher Times, as "safe" can be thought of as an opposite of "tough" and space is the opposite of time, as well as both names being alliterations.
 * When a hit is blocked, a deeper version of the squeaky toy sound effect that Tougher Times uses is played.
 * The lore quote is a direct reference to the comic Insufferable issue #6, where it is spoken by a character who is wearing makeshift armor made from multiple babies taped onto his clothing.
