The sound of the system's voice gave Suzy an instant mental jolt, sending a massive wave of relief and joy washing over her. For a moment, she was so overwhelmed she forgot how to speak.
[Host, are you alright?]
It was only when the system spoke again that Suzy finally snapped out of it.
"System, you... you're back!"
Hearing that voice after such a long time made her throat tighten with a sudden urge to cry. The system was finally restored. Its return brought her an immense, grounding sense of security. More importantly, she could finally claim her rewards!
Suzy bolted upright in bed, a radiant smile breaking across her face.
[Host, you have worked hard during this period.]
Suzy could catch a trace of complex emotion in the system's voice.
"No, it wasn't really that hard," she murmured softly.
The system fell silent for a brief moment.
[Would you like to redeem your rewards now?]
