1512 Someone or Something

It was then that Rean had an idea, saying, 'Sister Orb, are you still there?' Before anyone had a chance to answer, Rean continued, 'Please, tell me you're not there. Because if you're not, it means I'm finally free from you and the system. Please, don't answer. Please, please, please!'

[Fuck you! I'm very much here, okay?] Sure enough, a certain orb got quite angry.

'Tch...' Rean pretended to click his tongue in response. 'So much for my hopes and dreams.'

[Who cares about your hopes?! First of all, did you forget that if the link between you and me was broken, you two would be dead? How can you even wish for that?]

'There's no harm in dreaming a little, right?' Rean answered without the least bit of guilt.

[Hmph! So be it. Don't come at me later complaining when you need my support.]
