The training lasted two years.
Not continuous—Kaine needed breaks to integrate new knowledge, to practice techniques, to maintain her own wholeness while learning to create wholeness in others. But two years total of intensive study with Emma and Keiko.
Two years that transformed her from guardian-who-happened-to-integrate-four-predators into master-transformer-capable-of-galactic-scale-work.
The training had three phases.
Phase One: Foundation (Months 1-8)
Emma taught this phase personally. Taught Kaine to see consciousness the way Emma saw it—not as fixed thing but as pattern capable of infinite rearrangement. Not as static entity but as dynamic process. Not as what-is but as what-could-be.
