 First of all we notice that the vacuum $\Gexcvacket$ is actually $\GGexcvacket$, i.e.\ it depends only on $x_{(t)}$ and $\rE_{(t)}$.
 We can try to interpret the previous result in the light of the usual \cft approach.
 In particular we can refine the idea we discussed after~\eqref{eq:asymp_beha_Psi_on_exc_vac} that the singularity in the modes~\eqref{eq:generic-case-basis} and~\eqref{eq:generic-case-basis-conjugate} at the point $x_{(t)}$ is associated with a primary conformal operator which creates \eexcvacket with $\rE = \rE_{(t)}$.
-By comparison with the stress energy tensor of an excited vacuum~\eqref{eq:T_excited_vacuum}, from the second order singularity we learn that at the points $x_{(t)}$ there is an operator which creates the excited vacuum \GGexcvacket from the \SL{2}{R} vacuum \regvacuum.

 Given the discussion in the previous section this is an excited spin field $\rS_{\rE_{(t)}}\qty( x_{(t)}) = e^{i \rE_{(t)} \phi( x_{(t)} )}$.
 The first order singularities in $x_{(u)} - x_{(t)}$ are then the result of the interaction between two of the previous excited spin fields.
 Using the \cft operator approach we postulate that the following identification holds

 Moreover divergences in string amplitudes are not limited to four points: interestingly we show that the open string three point amplitude with two tachyons and the first massive state may be divergent when some \emph{physical} polarisations are chosen.
 The true problem is therefore not related to a gravitational issue but to the non existence of the effective field theory.
 In fact when we express the theory using the eigenmodes of the kinetic terms some coefficients do not exist, not even as a distribution.
