“My Master shows compassion,” the system continued, its voice almost reverent.

“That’s why, when He helped you, He didn’t just give you something temporary.

You might even lose some.

So you’ve been obedient, not because you don’t want revenge, but because you can’t afford it right now.” The words stung because they were true.
