[Host, how have you been these past days? Did you face any danger when I wasn't around?]
Celeste shook her head gently. "I'm fine. And welcome back, system."
Without warning, she clutched the blue screen tightly to her chest; a single tear slid from her left eye, dripping onto the floor and wetting the surface, though it dried up immediately, as if nothing had happened.
"…Welcome back, brother…" she murmured under her breath; her voice was so low that even the system did not hear her.
A few seconds later, she released the system.
[Host, what did you just say? ('^' ?)]
The blue screen floated beside her in mid-air, adjusting its position as she spoke, its voice filled with curiosity.
"…Nothing important," she replied.
A few minutes later, after the blue screen faded from sight, she turned towards Sylas and said, "What are you planning to do next?"
