Ki Yeonbom did not comment on how long it took them to arrive.
He did glance between Yeon Yujun and Seo Hwigeon once, with the particular economy of someone who had noted something and filed it for later, and then returned to the two stones sitting on the examination tray with their faint persistent resonance.
"Here," he said, pointing. "And here. The embedding was too deep in both cases for standard removal to fully clear the dark matter. There's a trace amount still active."
"Dangerous?" Seo Hwigeon asked.
"Not at this level. But if the resonance builds over time it could create a new manifestation point." Ki Yeonbom handed Yeon Yujun a pair of insulated gloves. "I need you to drain the residual. Your skill set is the most precise tool available for this — <[A+] Residual Flame> at minimum intensity, controlled burn, thirty seconds per stone."
'Do I really have to...?' Yeon Yujun didn't voice it out loud, he decided to reluctantly comply.
