Hidden Surprise

Roan found it strange, though. 'Wait, but doesn't the Soul Gem System protect our souls against things like that?'

[It does.] Sister Orb replied. [But when I noticed it was part of the test, I was able to stop the system from intervening. Otherwise, it would be obvious that something isn't right about you two.]

'I see...' Roan had to admit it was a good decision from Sister Orb.

[However, there was one thing I interfered with.]

'What is it?'

[The fact you two are together. I kept your consciences close to each other so that you two would appear in the same place. I have no doubt that the initial idea was to separate everyone.]

Rean liked her actions. 'That's a good thing. Thank you, Sister Orb.'

[No problem. Now, it's up to you to find out what you should be doing in this place.]
