The notice stated that several systems had been killed, while multiple hosts had gone missing. Among them were two particularly famous hosts whose sudden disappearance had caused considerable turmoil within the system headquarters.
All systems had been instructed to return immediately and participate in an emergency briefing regarding the incident.
Heena read the notice once more before handing it back.
"Oh, that's all? Go ahead, then. It's not a big deal."
The system turned to stare at her.
"...Host?"
Heena had already begun settling back against her pillow.
"What?"
"Did you just say it's not a big deal?"
"Yes."
"But... but the notice says that systems have been killed!"
Heena paused.
Then she looked at him again.
"Yes. I read that part."
The system's little face paled.
"S-systems can die? What about their hosts? Do the hosts die too?"
Heena considered the question for a moment.
