Grisha’s change

Grisha continued to speak about a lot of her experiences. Some, she was comfortable with speaking, others, she paused in the middle, unwilling to continue further as her mood soured.

After a couple of hours' worth of conversation, Compass Carburettor got a general gist of things. He also understood how Rhizen had been killed once.

Among all of Grisha's experiences, she had been Rhizen's companion only once. She had even been killed by him in a couple of other instances. In the end, she had seen his death once.

"That experience is tremendously valuable," he said, for, in that time, she had faced attacks from System Hosts constantly. So, it would be beneficial for his plans to use that to his advantage.

He then looked at the worried face of Grisha, asking, "What happened? You look worried."

"It's about my mother." She sighed in worry, "At present, she's a couple of cities away. It's not a distance that we can travel with our current abilities, right?"
