At around midday, Sienna settled Ali and Eli down for a noon nap. She headed upstairs and flopped onto her bed, ready for own sacred relaxation afternoon activity. The pillows were already fluffed, the blanket soft and furry, just like the fleece she was going to cover herself with. She was humming a lazy tune when the system suddenly awakened.
The chime shocked her because the system only showed up to alert her to a task or new pet.
[Warning: Your pet Elias Veythar is experiencing a mental break. Immediate soothing required. Failure will result in backlash which will affect your mental strength.]
Sienna sat upright, hair sticking out like a startled hedgehog. "What?!" she hissed. "What mental break? What backlash? Why am I affected? Isn't that his problem?"
The system didn't respond. It had delivered bad news and left.
