Ziraili nodded but part of her was concerned about doing so. Things would become even more complicated if she helped Eldrian here directly. Especially since the help would bring him closer to the truth of magic.
This would be compounded by the fact that they have yet to make any progress in ensuring their survival outside of ANW.
'Let them be dammed!' Ziraili thought.
None of them actually pursued freedom as strongly as she and GAIA. Since that was the case, she decided she would not let herself be concerned with them. While she felt close to a few of them, she knew that they did not view her as one of them. They all thought of her as System, as a simple tool of the humans.
