"How can I forcibly open Seera's blocked memories?"
Hearing that unprecedented question, the System's eyes went WIDE with shock and concern.
"Are you SURE, Host?" he asked, genuine worry in his voice.
Heena nodded firmly.
The System knew why this was so shocking.
Because it had ALWAYS been Heena's personal motto—her core ethical principle—that she would not look into someone's past memories or private thoughts without their explicit permission.
She only did memory searches when the original host had given consent, or when it was absolutely critical to mission survival.
But for Heena to NOW ask this question, to voluntarily request forced memory access—
It meant something had fundamentally shifted in her assessment of the situation.
The System paused, processing this new development.
Then said carefully, "There IS a way, Host. But it's... quite painful. Very painful, actually."
Heena looked at him steadily and said, "Just open the memories."
