Let's see what this ol' System can do!

"Do you even need to ask, AI? Let's see the good stuff. Oh, and AI sounds like too impersonal of a thing to call my new sidekick. Do you have a name or something?"

I do not have a name, and I am not your sidekick. I am an AI. Now fetching your current Ranking information.

"If you won't give me anything to go off of, I'll name you myself. I hope this the beginning of a fruitful partnership, Cammy."

C-Cammy? Of all the names, why Cammy?

"'Cause you're in my camera." Leon said, quite pleased with the clever name.

Your creativity inspires, Leon Marshall... Lest we forget what I'm here for, here is your Ranking information for Lily and Marlene Fairchild.

Lily Fairchild, Rank 1
-Lily is now much more likely to initiate and accept conversation with you. This effect is permanent.
-Lily will no longer notice your camera unless it is mentioned by you or someone else.

Marlene Fairchild, Rank 1
-Marlene is now much more likely to initiate and accept conversation with you. This effect is permanent.
-Marlene will no longer notice your camera unless it is mentioned by you or someone else.

The advantages sounded small, but knowing beforehand that people were open to talking to him would make taking those first few steps a lot easier. As for this second advantage...

"I can just snap pictures of unsuspecting Soul Links while I'm in the middle of talking to them, and they won't even notice? And wait a sec, are all rank advantages the same for everyone?"

Individualized Rank advantages will begin to appear as your Soul Links are strengthened. As for the camera, yes, but this advantage only alters the perception of Soul Links at Rank 1 or higher. Taking pictures while other people are watching might be seen as “creepy,” to use your word.

"Wait, are you holding a grudge against me? C'mooon Cammy. I didn't know what was going on at the time. You're not creepy at all, Cammy ol' pal!"

Thank you Leon Marshall, but I am only an AI and certainly cannot hold a grudge. However, I recommend you stop wasting your time and begin your efforts to master the Chronicle System.

Sound advice, but where to start? If he wanted to build a better life, he'd need a strong foundation.
