After making a promise, Alice hurried off as if she was afraid she might change her mind, leaving Ryan alone in the restaurant, lost in thought.
As the girl's figure disappeared into the distance, Ryan finally snapped out of it, realizing he could probably leave now.
But that wasn't what shocked him the most. What on earth was that "Darkening level" she mentioned?
It sounded ominous, and he quickly opened his system interface.
The first time he activated the Favorability, a new interface appeared, but this time, despite searching high and low, Ryan couldn't find any new interface.
Not even the Darkening level option was anywhere to be seen.
Could it be hidden? Only appearing when the Darkening level increased?
Ryan's search turned out to be fruitless, and he closed the panel, still puzzled.
He didn't know what it was, but he figured it was probably best not to do anything that might increase Alice's Darkening level.
