The end of the year was mostly uneventful aside from the long chats which Jin appreciated. The bellators stayed, and each shared a story or two of their past. It had been a bit awkward initially, especially since this was the first time in a long while that Jin stayed with the entire group to chat rather than get caught up by his work.
The System Users were most intrigued about Kraft's story about how Rex got betrayed by his Panda Lord Zhou Yu despite his utmost loyalty. The foxes, including Pei, had also briefly shared their lives and their own stories which led them to become servants of Kraft.
(Although Kraft kept insisting that they were companions and not servants, the majority claimed otherwise except for Kiyu. Still, from the tone of their accusation, it was clear that only Pei believed this to be the actual case.)
