When Ves and Ketis finally left the System Space, they emerged as different people.
In reality, hardly any time had passed, yet inside this mysterious space, both mech designers looked as if they had attained their own breakthroughs!
The transformation of Ves was by far the most subtle one. His biggest change was that he had shared his greatest secret with one of the mech designers he trusted the most.
Even that had been a tough hurdle for him to overcome as his paranoia still told him that it had been a mistake to open himself up to a new range of vulnerabilities.
The more people learned about the System, the greater the risk of exposure!
This was an inevitable outcome of letting others learn about the System and gain access to its powerful features.
Despite his misgivings, he did not regret his choice. Letting Ketis gain access to the System granted a lot of benefits.
