"We trust you, Master."

[Good morning, Hiro,] Nova's monotonous voice echoed in Hiro's head as he slowly stirred from his slumber, his mind gradually syncing with his body.

Hiro let out a sleepy groan as he sat up in his dimly lit room, his gaze sweeping across the familiar surroundings. Kaida and Lirien were conspicuously absent, likely off on their morning routines. 

They must have left him to catch some more sleep. A smile tugged at the corners of his lips as memories of the previous night flashed in his mind.

"Hmmm, she remembers my name today. What's the special occasion?" Hiro asked, his eyes scanning the room, the morning light casting gentle shadows on the walls.

"So sorry I decided to call you by your name, host," Nova replied sarcastically, drawing out the word "host." She scoffed, her digital presence tinged with an almost playful irritation.

"Stop acting up and show me my stats," Hiro demanded.

"Fine. Here you go," Nova replied.
