Seraphine called them all in on the morning of the sixth week.
That was the phrase she used called them in which was not her usual approach. Her usual approach was to appear in the space she intended to occupy and begin, and the people who needed to be there arranged themselves accordingly. Seraphine did not gather. She did not request it. The fact that she had used those words, specifically, told Aelara before she even walked through the door that what was coming required the full room and everyone's undivided attention.
Mira was already seated when Aelara arrived, which meant Seraphine had spoken to her separately before this. That itself was a piece of information Aelara filed.
