Week six brought Tessra's cautious clearance for limited active circulation.
"Limited," she emphasized when delivering the news. "Your pathways are approximately seventy-five percent healed. That's good enough for controlled low-density circulation in safe conditions. Not combat. Not high-intensity training. Just basic technique work to verify that your capacity is functioning correctly and that the healing process hasn't created any complications."
She handed him a detailed protocol document. "You'll start with five-minute circulation sessions at minimal density. Monitor for pain, irregular flow, or any sensation that suggests pathway stress. If you experience any of those, stop immediately and report to me. If the first session goes well, we incrementally increase duration and density over the next two weeks until we reach your full capacity. Understand?"
"Yes," Amaron said, trying to keep the relief out of his voice.
