The fourth session began the way the previous three had and then became something else entirely.
Kang Min stood in the center of the workshop floor while Jiseok worked, the building mana moving through the familiar depth of the boundary layer, the framework's anchor points receiving the continuation of what the third session had left as an outline. The star was present from the beginning of the session in the way it had been present since the direct contact — not dormant, not passive, fully oriented toward the work and contributing its structure to the framework's interior.
The difference in the fourth session was the quality of that contribution.
