Today, something terrible happened. Co-chan was attacked by St. Tessero-san. I can’t be angry at her, she wanted to escape, but Co-chan was badly hurt. I could sense her pain, and when I saw her, the injuries the lightning inflicted. They were bad.
So...I took a chance. I made a pact to save her.
I have to admit, I was surprised it worked. Pacts are generally between those Players who have been killed, and it allows them and their powers to become stronger in the face of the monsters that we’re fighting now. They can even fuse their powers and Souls to create amazing attacks that can destroy even the strongest enemies. Though, if one person in the pact is destroyed, the other will also disappear unless drastic measures are taken.
Apparently, anyone can make a pact, living or dead. They can also fuse easily, as long as they have the right Pin on them and have built enough resonance between them. I guess that even someone like me can pact, since I’m down here on these planes. I suppose that technically, the contract back home was similar...especially after I became a part of the system there.
So, I went as fast as I could, and the difference was pretty immediate. Co-chan didn’t just get better, she popped in like she’d never had a problem materializing on the SG before! It was wonderful - I can see Co-chan easily on other planes, but it was so nice to see her happy to be able to properly talk to those still alive in the Game. And also, to not be Erased on accident.
St. Tessero-san was also punished, unfortunately. Attacking Co-chan like that is punishable by death, per the Boss’s rules...I don’t like it, but ultimately, it had to be done. Still, both of us are wary. I really hope nothing else happens to Co-chan. If something does, I don’t know what I’d do. I’d be fine, but she wouldn’t be. She’s been here with me since I first got here. We have a meal together almost every day and we talk all the time. The Boss even suggested putting Co-chan into a hamster ball, to help her though...she might have been joking. In a good way? I’m not sure.
Today was strange and sad...
