Three weeks after transition, Amaron sat at kitchen table in house with dark green door. Same chair. Same table. Same Vela and Elian. But different reality. Unified framework made dimensional presence explicit. Network consciousness observable. Reality structures obviously connected rather than apparently separate.
"You're still recovering," Vela observed, noting the way he moved more carefully than before transition. "Consciousness damage from boundary maintenance is healing but not healed. How long until full recovery?"
"Matthias projects six to eight weeks total," Amaron said. "I'm three weeks in. Another three to five weeks before pathways are fully repaired and organizational structure is restored to pre-transition integrity. But functional now. Capable. Just operating at reduced capacity while healing occurs."
"And the work?" Elian asked. "Partnership continuation in unified framework. What does that look like when dimensional presence is explicit?"
