'Hold on…' Dante came to a stop, his eyes slowly widening. 'What do you mean… missing?'
[Separated and inaccessible.] Volcan replied.
'... what?' Though he understood what he had been told, Dante still felt confused. Gathering his thoughts, he hurried with another question before his resident AI could answer the first. 'So, you had it before, and now it's gone?'
[Yes.] Volcan replied, sounding strangely solemn. [That seems to be the case.]
'You had the ability to upgrade things other than implants inside my body, but it's now gone?'
[Yes.]
At that moment, Dante felt an overwhelming urge to shout and curse. Just as he began grinding his teeth, a hand fell on his shoulder.
"Kid, you ok?"
He craned his neck to look at Megan, wondering when she would make it to his side. Turns out he was standing at the entrance to the building they were heading into.
"Yeah, I'm fine." He replied, smiling wryly. "I'm kinda hungover, that's all."
