Does System know?
Does it know about the amulet?
Those are the primary thoughts that run through my mind.
Or is this just its usual skulduggery to interfere with us busting out of this glorified digital/parallel universe prison?
I privately send telepathic chat messages. [System, what did you do?]
[It's all in the game. Many a tear and all that. You knew this would come back around.]
How did I mistake this thing for a friend? It was grooming me. We think of "grooming" as sexual, but this was even more insidious. It gained my trust.
I'm furious. [NOW?]
[Blaze. You want to play against me? Well, I play for keeps. It's a shame. I could have done so much for you.]
[Don't do me any favors.]
It doesn't even laugh. Its voice is cold. [Your wish is my command.]
Lobo butts in, because he's heard everything. [You leave him alone.]
