[k]
[charaFace D 5]
＠Holmes
I had deduced that the trouble with our communications most likely lay with you.
[k]
＠Holmes
To begin, your mind was able to attain something similar to a physical body after being transported in a manner not unlike a Rayshift.
[k]
[charaFace D 4]
＠Holmes
However, that body is very much a temporary construct.[sr]Your real one is still asleep here in Chaldea.
[k]
＠Holmes
Therefore, as long as your new body was able to adjust to that world, there shouldn't have been any issue...but had it not, it is entirely possible that your magical circuits wouldn't function properly.
[k]
[charaFace D 0]
＠Holmes
After all, the comms device you always use is as much a kind of Mystic Code as it is a machine.
[k]
＠Holmes
Which means, if the magical circuits within your body were unable to acquire energy, your comms device would fail to function as well.

I described Ms. Musashi as a mobile Singularity precisely because of the many connotations such a term implies.

While one of those connotations is certainly that anything and everything becomes possible, there is more to it.

Despite her unusual nature, she alone would not cause this sort of inter-dream phenomenon to occur.
