Secret Techniques

Once per run a runner with this contact may go for an “enhanced relaxation experience”. This is a lengthy and indepth mix of massages, yoga, scented oils, and cleansings. Upon finishing it will leave you feeling relaxed, revitalized, and rejuvenated. This experience has a few effects:

• You will feel great!
• Roll a connection test. You restore one Edge per hit up up to your Edge attribute (as normal). If you score no hits, you still recover one (1) Edge. Caveats below.
• If you did any high-intensity activities before the session or if you do any after in the same day, the Edge gained from Kesuke vanishes, never to be seen again. (Gunfights, hacking, magical activities, intense negotiation, infiltration, etc., all count - think anything that involves possible damage or opposed rolls.)
• You cannot take part in those activities on the day you go in for relaxation.
• The next time you rest and regain Edge naturally after the session, the Edge you gained from the session becomes permanent (in addition to the Edge you regain for resting afterwards) and is no longer lost from intense activity.
• You cannot restore Edge that has been given to Kolfina.

So long as the runner follows the standard rules for regaining edge in addition to these restrictions, they may keep these extra points of edge (up to their max), after a day of rest.
