"How are... Oh, it's because of that..." Gustav came to a realization before he could pose the question.
"You never did tell me the connection wasn't cut off," Gustav said to her.
"I...I... Wanted to but I thought you might find it creepy," Vera's cheeks burned red as she responded.
"You've done something even worse in the past so, nah, I wouldn't find this creepy. It's actually not entirely bad since Miss Aimee was able to find and offer me assistance but at the same time not entirely good..." Gustav felt he wouldn't be able to hide if others wanted to find him using Vera.
But it was still okay since it had a proximity range. He just hoped the proximity wouldn't increase in the future.
This connection came about when Vera tried to turn Gustav into a puppet in the past. Gustav still counted himself lucky that Vera decided to deactivate the parasitic strains she planted in him because the system had sensed it late.
