The third boundary session started the same way the previous two had.
Jiseok in the center of the workshop floor, hands raised, the building mana moving outward in the quality that said it knew what it was doing. Kang Min standing still, letting it work, the contact at the boundary layer arriving with the familiarity of a repeated process rather than the novelty of the first.
The work had advanced across two sessions. The distributed anchor points were set, the framework's outline established, the relationship between the anchor points defined in the specific mathematical language that Jiseok's decades of craft had developed for problems that didn't have established precedent. The first session had placed the framework's bones. The second had begun filling in the structure between the bones. The third was supposed to reach the interior — the actual interface at the merger point rather than the frame around it.
It ran for forty minutes before something changed.
