[Hello ♪!] the thorcam chimed with a new, high-pitched, playful voice, like that of a lively young girl. [The update is complete! The beta system greets the user!]
Real-time seemed to drag. Astrid could barely lift her foot, trying to stomp on Eidal. Each frame of her movement ticked by like a slowed heartbeat. Eidal's agony was unbearable.
He didn't understand what was happening. Update? Was it that the thorcam had upgraded to prevent forced reset failures and handle emotions better? Maybe. Without waiting for his response, the thorcam cut in:
[I'll take that as a yes~]."
'W-what?! W-wait,' Eidal protested in his mind.
But the thorcam retorted:
[Wait? That's for fools. Let's jump into the fray~©. Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's goooo!]
'I told you to wait!' Eidal couldn't keep up.
