Tan You was a little surprised. "Does this mean that from now on, any bootleg systems we find will have to be turned in? I won't be able to give them to you anymore?"
The Beauty System sounded a bit listless. "Mhm, but joining the Scavenger Group has its benefits... You can meet a lot of powerful mission-takers..."
"Then we won't join," Tan You said casually. She was someone who knew how to provide emotional support. "You're *my* little system. Any bootleg systems or other things I collect are meant to nurture you."
"I'm not willing to let other systems take a cut of your benefits. After all, nurturing you takes a lot of effort. One system is enough for me. It's easy to play favorites when you have more than one, and I've had enough of the pain that causes. I certainly don't want you to feel sad or heartbroken later on."
The Beauty System tapped its two front paws together. "Systems are just a bundle of data. We don't get sad or heartbroken."
