[The system would like to apologize for the scare it gave everyone yesterday. Due to some technical issue, the system malfunctioned and was not able to act properly. The system apologizes for any trouble it might have caused.]
Shuu and the others woke up with that warning blazing right in front of their eyes and it surprised them all.
The message hovered in the air, bright and impossible to ignore. It lingered longer than usual, as if the system wanted to make absolutely sure that every word was read and understood.
Shuu stared at it in silence, his mind still sluggish from sleep but quickly catching up. The wording was clean, almost too clean, and it left no room for doubt or further questioning.
"A malfunction…"
He repeated the word quietly, more to himself than anyone else. He looked around and noticed that Kaiden was not sleeping in the bed any longer.
"Huh! When did Kaiden leave…"
