The news caught Ailetta by surprise. It wasn't necessarily shocking that he lost his system. There was always speculation as to why Noah still had a system despite the obvious signs that he was a monster.
What she found shocking… was how casually he said it.
No panic, no confusion, no desperation in his voice. Just a simple almost absentminded realization.
She stared at him, trying to gauge whether it was acceptance or shock so deep it hadn't hit him yet.
She didn't see Noah as someone who depended on the system, as someone so mentally weak that he would fall into despair after losing something that everyone would consider to be a gift that was invaluable.
However, losing the system meant heavy implications, implications that were mere speculations, but if they were true, then she wasn't sure how Noah would respond.
His obsession with the chest? Would they still drop? Experience points? How would that even work?
