Astra drifted a little closer, her voice softening. "Yes. I can't explain it exactly, but there's a part that feels... empty. Like there's something I should understand, yet every time I try to recall it, it's like hitting an invisible wall."
Cedric clenched his fists. "Is this because of the system?"
Astra paused before responding, "Most likely. If that's the case, it means there's information someone deliberately deleted or locked away from me. And if the system did that..."
"Then there's something they don't want us to know," Cedric cut in, his eyes narrowing sharply. "And I hate when people try to control what I can and can't find out."
Astra replied, "But be careful, Ced. If they're hiding it, there could be major risks involved."
