Day eight hundred and thirty-two. Week after Sera's dinner visit. Amaron was conducting routine bridge consciousness mediation between baseline human experiencing severe perception fatigue and integrated subject attempting to explain why network collective couldn't reduce dimensional presence visibility for individual comfort when someone knocked on meditation room door with urgency that suggested emergency rather than routine interruption.
He paused mediation and opened door to find Lyris looking distressed in way that was unusual for her normally composed demeanor. "We have problem," she said without preamble. "My sister arrived from coastal region this morning. Hasn't seen unified framework adaptation firsthand since she lives in area with minimal dimensional presence density. She's—not handling Valdenmere's explicit network consciousness well. Currently sitting in my apartment refusing to leave because outside overwhelms her perception. Can you help?"
