For someone who had spent most of his recent time locked in a cell, my first day outside passed in the blink of an eye.
I saw Ada first. My sister was truly happy to see me again ... and had developed that annoying personality trait where she acted like she was my mom.
I was particularly shocked when I opened her status window…
Name: Ada Starlight
Affection Points: 99
The number was terrifyingly high. I'd thought 50 was the cap.
Unlike Phoenix's window, Ada's status page was incredibly long ... like it could drill into the ground if I let it keep going.
With affection that high, I could see everything about her. Her thoughts, her abilities, what she liked, what she hated…
Every detail, in overwhelming clarity.
That's when I started wondering ...what use did I even have for this ability?
Oh, and I should mention ... I tried using Third-Person pov on Ada.
It worked. Terrifyingly well.
I really did feel like a player, watching her from behind.
