“I am all packed,” Liaei announced to the harmonium. “Not that many personal items in my box, mostly datapad and audio library components and extra power packs. A couple of pretty self-decorative presents from the horticulturists and Amhama, for my fifteenth birthday. My cool weather jacket, even though it is hot here now. Extra underwear and . . . pads.”

“Sounds like you are prepared,” replied the harmonium.

Liaei shrugged. “Prepared for not sure what. But yes, I am.”

“Then the last lesson from this node in Basin City will be about intimacy, and about fear.”

“What do you mean?”

“It is a natural thing to be afraid of the unknown,” said the harmonium. “And another entity, a person you have never met, is an unknown. When you come together, unless you trust that no harm will befall you, you will not be receptive. We will practice an exercise that focuses your thoughts on the calm and acceptance that might be needed at that point. First, imagine a bowl of water, smooth and placid and perfectly clear. . . .”
