After eating lunch, Zach and Victoria were washing dishes together on the backside of the church.
"This kind of feels like we are married and doing house chores together," Victoria said with a smile on her face.
"That would have been the normal life you yearn for, huh?"
"It will happen once we get out of the game."
"..." Zach watched Victoria with a calm look on his face but didn't say anything, or rather, he didn't know what to say. There was no point in giving false hope.
'Can we leave this game? I am not sure. The gods said we can, but they are gods. They won't easily give up. There has to be a twist they are planning.'
'But… is there any need or reason to leave this game?' Zach wondered. 'The only reason I want to go back to the real world is that mother, Zoe, and Siesta. Victoria is already here.'
'Only if mother had her powers, she could have taken Zoe to another safe realm of one of the father's friends.'
