The new question did not require Eli to change what he carried ready for use.
Nara’s movement imprint was already benched from the Quiet Field rotation. Sight remained retained among the three equipped talents, with Anchor and Quiet Field. All were inactive. The stadium defense remained stored as well. There would be no hurried swap, no fourth simultaneous use, and no attempt to treat the old unsafe channel as extra room simply because the question had become urgent.
Juno showed the configuration record to the local observer through the permitted nonactivation view. Eli confirmed that it described his present arrangement. The independent engineer inspected the read-only status with the local operator. The display showed no activation event. Nobody inferred from inactivity that the permanent memory losses were repaired or that the clinical restriction had ceased to matter.
“The question is narrow,” Juno said. “Does this terminal response require Nara’s movement talent to be actively equipped and used at this moment?”
“Not whether the reservoir is completely separate,” Eli said.
“Correct.”
“Not whether she is aware.”
“Correct.”
