>Do so, calling upon all our experience with meditation and such practices.

>While it is not something that you boast about, you do have some experience with various forms of applied concentration and mental exercises. Normally, you would be a little insulted that Satori felt the need to lecture you about it, but with things as they are you pay it no mind and follow her instructions, staring at a blank and somewhat dirty section of wall, and letting time pass.
>You want to think you can almost feel the mind reader's touch upon the edge of your thoughts, like stray impulses or a ghost of a need to sneeze. She says nothing, but you note her third eye moving in slow erratic patterns, and try to ignore it to help her along. After a few minutes, though, you can't help but think she isn't moving at all.

>You wait for a few minutes longer, and during that time, you are quite certain Satori has been entirely motionless. As much as you can discern while trying not to think about her, in any event.

In retrospect, it might have been better to use Shuuei as our litmus test for how real this all is. If there's one person that an outside source wouldn't be able to reproduce properly, it's her.

>You wait another few minutes, and they pass just as before. You do your best to remain focused and clear-minded, but you're also quite certain that Satori has not moved in any way for awhile now, which is getting a tad more difficult not to focus upon.
