"Host," System called out in a panic, "Host, I received the memories from a life before Zhiyue. We were wrong, we were so wrong."
"Make it go away," I whimpered between tears.
"I can't Host, you know that," System replied in a gentle tone, "you have Izzy now though."

My skin crawled with the sensation of fresh sweat dripping down my back.
"What did you do?" I asked System whilst stiffly making my way to the door.
