Maple Syrup!
Rita immediately recognized the voice of the newcomer.
She knew this voice too well, having heard it for ten years in High Tower, and for several more years in Binast. Whether as a child, teenager, or adult, she knew this voice at every stage of life.
But unlike Verdant Verdant Whisper · Windrush, who seemed to relax upon seeing Maple Syrup, Rita's heart sank.
She couldn't see Maple Syrup's expression, but she knew it wasn't going to be good.
Since learning that Lania KaiaWither had put together a World Skill, Rita had been closely monitoring the battlefield chat channel. After that day, Maple Syrup had stopped joking around or speaking as frequently as before.
The few times she had spoken were to exchange intelligence for contribution points since the start of the "Quiet Mountain" game.
This was unlike anything Rita had ever experienced.
