Chapitre 38: Is Evangeline Trustworthy?

[Sitting on the bed, you opened the box that the Solstice Family patriarch had given you, revealing the avatar crystal inside.]

[As you took out the avatar crystal, Evangeline immediately understood your intention to absorb the crystal and push your avatar to complete its evolution.]

[It was risky to attempt such a thing with someone else present in the room. If Evangeline had any ill intentions, she could easily disrupt the process and sabotage your evolution. A single moment of treachery from her could mean your death.]

['If Evangeline dares to attack me while I'm in the middle of this, it'll be the end for me. But so what? This is just a simulation. I can afford to take this risk to see if she's trustworthy.']

['In real life, I might never attempt something so reckless. But here, I can have as many do-overs as I need. If she proves loyal, I'll know I can trust her. But if she betrays me, I'll make sure she pays for it in every simulation from now on.']
