It's a tiny rental house, but it's nicer than the apartments near school, and you like your home being away from work. It's especially good to get some distance from Carter Hall after the day you've had.
The next day you're faced with a decision: what to do about the possible thinning of the dimensional barrier. You can tell Dr. Ellison, which will necessitate telling her what happened with Gabriel. You can tell Darcy, given her work with the ripples in the dimensional barrier. Or you can keep quiet and hope for the best. Like you told Gabriel, the interference he experienced is rare. Maybe there's nothing wrong with the dimensional barrier and telling others would be alarmist.
It was a one-off incident. Nothing more should happen.
Lucky for you, nothing more does happen. You spend a week waiting for Darcy or one of the other practitioners to have issues with channeling, but if they do, they don't tell you or Dr. Ellison about it. All you're left with is occasional head pains. You may have avoided serious pattern damage when rescuing Gabriel, but the events left you with a nagging headache that ibuprofen hasn't touched.
By early October you've settled into a routine that makes you feel like you're making progress. Either that or the constant low-grade panic about trying to do everything well has numbed you sufficiently. To keep from being too scattered, you picked a primary focus.
