Snow blurted out, forgetting her Master was in deep contemplation, "Zephyr and Aqua died, Master? What happened?"
Kaiju stared at her in a daze. When his eyes regained clarity, he sighed.
"To be honest, Aqua died an hour or two ago. Then, I received… felt the connection between me and Zephyr was severed, as well. They surely must have died."
Kaiju almost blurted out the existence of the Gacha System. It did not mean he did not trust Snow and Little Gorilla enough to reveal the latter, but it did not hurt to be cautious. Hence, Kaiju responded in a way that made it seem as though he could feel the connection between him and his pets, while ironically, he could not—barely now, after the Gacha System revealed it.
"Why—How?" Snow was lost for words.
Meanwhile, Little Gorilla clasped his hands and closed his eyes, mourning. Kaiju sighed and closed his eyes in silence, eventually convincing Snow to act the same.
