Once Erich was back in his own time, he was greeted once more by Tia. This time around, however, her tone was far less panicked than before as she greeted her Master as if he had been gone an exceptionally long time.
Though the information from her reconnection to Erich's NeuroLink actively told her everything, the man had been through, thus alerting her to the fact that the man had only been gone for less than a day. She still treated Erich as if he was returning from a long voyage.
"Welcome back Master! Tia was so lonely when you were away!"
Tia was a complicated existence. She had evolved into a sentient being because of the feelings she developed towards Erich. Feelings which were incredibly intense. But she was not as one dimensional as Erich had thought she was in the past.
