Awakening part 3 - His System

[DING] [TING] [TIDING]

[FINALLY , FOUND YOU. ]

[DID YOU MISS ME??? ]

Rio stood up with a shock as he looked around frantically for the source of the voice, but still couldn't find anything.

[Hey, stop looking around like an idiot]

[And answer my question, did you miss me?]

Rio heard the voice again, same voice as her, the playful insults, the teasing tone - he was all too familiar with it. There were only very few people who would talk to him like that, and this voice belonged to someone he loved the most.

"R _ Ria" Despite his doubtful expression a smile came to his face, at the thought of seeing her again.

'Is it her ghost again or another illusion.' He thought as he started walking in the darkness faster hoping to see her again. It has been nearly a month in Arcadia and who knows how long in the darkness, that he hasn't seen her, and as always she was here for him when he was feeling lost again. His heart felt warm with that thought.
