Doug's proximity to Topher helped strengthen Rachel's reach. Without the rapport with her husband, this would be a lot hard and she would be crashing into that semi.

Rachel swerved on the road and mashed her foot on the gas. She was splitting her attention with the bulk of the focus on her younger cousin.

I'm here, Topher. We'll hold it back. Doug was looped in just because he was her focal point to reach Topher easier. I can't get rid of completely. Not at this distance, but I can cage it until I get there. A psychic prison for Animus. Just think about a box made of bars. Bars with no room to reach out between. Envision it, Topher. Give the psychic energy I'm giving you form. Once it's held, Doug will take you to a very quiet room away from everyone else.
