The night was still young and the mission was tomorrow.
I had spent two days in Daphne's room unable to move, trusting Azure and May to hold things together on the outside. Now everything worked again.
I stretched, testing every joint and muscle the way the plain had trained me. Arms. Shoulders. Ribs. Legs. All of it responded smoothly, bones solid, tissue fully knit. The system had done its silent work.
[Vitality: 100%.]
[Mission in 12 hours.]
[Insufficient charge. Minimum two full charges required.]
Two charges, I thought. Twelve hours.
The last time I had ignored the system, Celestine had nearly put me in the ground. I wasn't making that mistake again.
[Daphne: Available. Previous connection. One climax equals half charge.]
[New compatible users tonight: Ivy and Isabelle.]
[Each climax with a new user equals one full charge.]
I noted the list and filed it away.
