    “I know what it feels like to lose a friend. But I never blamed Lisa for her unwitting role in the ambush. She is just as much a victim of the Cultivator as you are. I know it must have been hard to lose your friend and leader and then be told you could not continue as you are and have someone else lead your group.

They are not doing that much yet sadly. I also have [Toughness] that makes me, well tougher. Its equivalent to a Constitution buff, but it actually makes my body tougher I think. Its kinda vague in its description. My stats are….” she waved in the air, probably opening her status menu all Vessels had access to and sometimes Melissa envied them for the quick access to information.
