Mira's response arrived at midnight.
Not through the documentation channel.
Through the between-space itself.
The Architect of the Sealed Space broadcasting on the between-frequency at a strength that reached across territories — not the combined signal's named weight, not the deep correspondence's ambient communication. Something more direct. A between-frequency transmission from someone who had spent the full duration of the withdrawal in compressed sealed space with autonomous between-space fragments and had emerged with a capacity to use that frequency at a level that made Oren sit up in bed at midnight and send an immediate message.
She's broadcasting. Kael. Everyone with between-space sensitivity just received it.
He had received it.
The content was not language.
It was demonstration.
Mira had applied the Compressed Duration Essence.
He felt what she had become through the broadcast.
Not just Level 71 with the Architect of the Sealed Space classification.
