Sohrn requested time to prepare a formal account rather than continuing the conversation extemporaneously — Rama recognized, watching her composed request, that whatever she was about to share deserved the same careful methodology that had characterized every significant disclosure throughout their relationship's development.
The full account arrived the following evening, delivered through the stabilized junction with Timeline 48, Rodriguez, Dr. Chen, and Volkov gathered to receive it — Sohrn understanding, correctly, that this history's weight deserved comprehensive institutional attention rather than remaining confined to their earlier, more personal conversation.
"I want to begin with Vaure himself," Sohrn said, "because I believe understanding the specific person who lived through this decision matters more than simply reciting institutional conclusion."
She continued, working through the account with the particular care that genuinely difficult truth-telling required.
