Chapter 255: The Gilded Cage Opens
[Your affinity with Cassandra Von Virellia has reached 4.5 stars.]
[Upon reaching 5 stars, you will unlock Aura Sync.]
I stared at the message window, confusion taking over me.
Already 4.5 stars? Did it increase after all that we went through? What would I need to do for it to reach 5 stars?
And an Aura Sync? What was that? Another rare phenomenon? Or does it stand for aura synchronization? Or was it a combat boost?
The system’s description was frustratingly vague. I’d have to look into it more in the future.
Besides, they weren’t the only messages I got.
It seems like that weird phenomenon is called "Emphatic Resonance" - a rare phenomenon that allows deep emotional connections to manifest shared experiences and memories in visual form.
The system explained that it occurs when two individuals with high affinity reach a state of complete emotional vulnerability and trust.
I even got to learn a mental ability thanks to it.
[Memory Resonance - Level 1]
[Ability allows visualization of deeply traumatic or significant memories when emotional barriers are completely lowered between individuals with 4 and 4+ star affinity.]
