[: 3rd POV :]
Hearing the system's answer, Daniel frowned slightly.
"That sounds like a very polite way of saying 'no'."
[: It is a precise way of saying no :]
"…Yeah, I figured."
He exhaled, then looked forward again, more serious now.
"Explain it to me properly. Not the system version. The real reason."
A brief pause followed.
[: The system is not merely a tool. It is an accumulation of every single existence of pure energy throughout all existence, the non-existent universe. I'm a being that owns every single existence of records and has existed before nothingness mattered :]
Daniel narrowed his eyes. "That didn't answer my question."
[: The fusion process you underwent was not an addition. It was convergence :]
Another pause.
[: Two incomplete existences cannot remain separate after convergence without destabilising both :]
Daniel's expression softened slightly.
"So if you split again… we both break?"
[: Correct :]
He let that sink in for a moment.
