[ Hien—rather, NoName—receives a message on his phone with three words. They're area keywords to Great Fortune's Radiation.

When Hien eventually goes there, he'll find himself in a snowy tundra. Right outside of the shrine dungeon is Zelkova, waiting patiently. ]

[ Same place as before. Hien isn't particularly feeling creative right now. He says that this is pretty urgent too. So whenever the two meet in the Great Fortune's Radiation area, Hien speaks up first, with none of the tired drawl that usually accompanies his voice. ]

What is this about gear level cap rewards?

[ NoName had received a text on his phone like usual whenever Zelkova wants to meet up. He really considered just sleeping it off to deal with it tomorrow, buthe might as well get this out of the way. He has a feeling he knows what Zelkova wants to talk about.

They meet up in Great Fortune's Radiation as always. ]

You wanted to see me?

[ Now that Zelkova has returned, NoName sets up a time to meet in Great Fortune's Radiation. He has a lot to talk about with Zelkova. But first? Don't worry. He took another small nap after the entire reveal so he's feeling a little better. ]

... Zel.

[ It's cold here as always, but NoName doesn't feel it. ]

Zel.

You were right. I should have done what you said, because I have a lot of regrets. I still remember your words, despite me forgetting things a lot faster than usual. I'm starting to forget my time in Fragment too. I've done a lot of things that you didn't want me to inflict on the players. I couldn't keep them safe, because what I am to the core, but they're just excuses and they have no place here.

I wanted to apologize. I should have told you about the dangerous bug regarding log out deaths sooner. I wish I spent more time with you too. I took the time for granted, until I realized you're no longer here and I don't have much time left. I know I won't make it through, or at least, my self won't. I won't remember this either. Whatever you see of me later, I won't be myself, and dead at worst.

But I hope that you'll remember for me, and see to that the remaining players are safe.

If I knew what a regular human family felt like, maybe I would have seen you as a younger brother figure, despite your firmness on insisting that you're an AI. I saw Fandaniel do that with Cubia, and it made me think a little on my own relationship with you.

Admittedly, I was a little jealous.

I hope that as an AI, you learned the better things from humans so that you don't end up like Cubia. Even if your actions were programmed, it was nice to have the kindness early on despite my attitude. Thank you for being nice to me.

I'm glad I got to know you.
