What it was doing was additive.
Every other drain operating simultaneously was running against a mind that was already spending 8-12% more resource than its baseline on managing the nightmare pressure. The displacement calculations that should have cost X were costing 1.08X to 1.12X. The barrier maintenance that should have cost Y was costing 1.08Y to 1.12Y. The environmental decisions that should have taken a specific fraction of a second were taking a fraction of a second plus eight to twelve percent.
Over ninety minutes, the additive cost had accumulated.
His current displacement interval: 0.14 seconds longer than the fight's start. From baseline plus nothing to baseline plus 0.14 seconds — the specific evidence of accumulated drain across four simultaneous operations plus the nightmare background.
Satou added the next element.
