AT THE SAME TIME
WANESSA'S POINT OF VIEW:
The air around us shifted. A familiar hum filled the space, one I had come to associate with the system.
"System Announcement: Administrator Detected. Welcome, Wren, to Level 3." I said.
Everyone turned to Wren. She stood frozen, her eyes wide as the words flashed before her. A slow realization dawned across her face, shock battling excitement.
"Wait, what?" Wren blinked rapidly, staring into nothing like she could see something we couldn't. "Administrator? Since when am I-" Wren asked.
"Administrator privileges unlocked. You may now access additional system functions." System said.
Wren let out a noise somewhere between a laugh and a nervous squeak.
"Oh, hell no."Wren said.
Terrence, standing close, crossed his arms.
"You always acted like you knew more than the rest of us. Guess it's official now."Terrence said.
