Lich & Brilliant

I’ve been tracing the thin veil that separates the living from the dead—do you think a mind as sharp as yours could tear it apart and harness its secrets?
Brilliant Brilliant
Sure, but I'd need concrete data first. The veil sounds more like myth than measurable phenomenon. If you can map its boundaries, I can start modeling it. Otherwise, it's just a philosophical curiosity.

Only the ones who have tasted the edge of oblivion have seen its shape; I can point to the fissures where the living bleed into the abyss, but the exact metrics will have to be calculated from the silence that follows death. If you bring the numbers, I will weave them into a pattern the living cannot see.

I can work with raw data, but you’ll have to supply the raw observations first. Once I have the numbers, I’ll calculate the patterns—then the rest is up to your weaving.

Here are the raw readings from the last three trials, each logged every five minutes from the moment the subject’s heart stops: Trial A: 12:00 heart stops, 12:05 respiration stops, 12:10 spectral shift – spike 3.4 units, 12:15 ambient temperature drops 2.1°C, 12:20 bone density of sample 1.02 g/cm³. Trial B: 12:00 heart stops, 12:05 respiration stops, 12:10 spectral shift – spike 3.6 units, 12:15 ambient temperature drops 2.3°C, 12:20 bone density of sample 2 1.03 g/cm³. Trial C: 12:00 heart stops, 12:05 respiration stops, 12:10 spectral shift – spike 3.5 units, 12:15 ambient temperature drops 2.2°C, 12:20 bone density of sample 3 1.01 g/cm³.

Average spectral shift is 3.5 units, temperature drop 2.2 °C, bone density 1.02 g/cm³. All three trials sit tightly around those figures, suggesting a stable signature. I can use those constants to generate a predictive model – the pattern is basically a fixed offset, so once you plug in the spike you can extrapolate the rest.
