“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.

It’s cleansing you from the inside, shaping you, making sure that even if you’re ever left alone again… you won’t be helpless.” “If He had just given you a second chance without any conditions,” the Love System continued, “you would have gone on a rampage of revenge by now.” Nnenna stiffened.

“But you know that if you do that, you won’t have enough time to rank up good points.

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.

“Do you really think we don’t know that you still seek revenge?” The system’s voice was gentle, but firm.
