"Did you see that" Rachel said excitedly.
"..." Yang Hei said lightly as he looked at his dad avatar, which is basically a female Loli. But, at the same time knowing that it is your dad makes it even more awkward.
"What's wrong."
"..."
"Looking Good 'Windsaver's Dad" Blahblahblah cheered.
"Why choose a Loli character?" BackwardFries asked.
"No problems here" Tottallynotagirl commented with her hands folded, he was a guy in real life but choose a female character.
"….." BackwardFries just looks at her.
"I thought it would be fun." Rachel said lifting her avatar's short stubby looking arms. "Besides it's a game after all, can't one have fun while they are at it."
"….." No comment after that.
"Let's do these quest things I wanna join." Rachel said.
"Welp, that's our que. Don't want to get in the way of 'Father' and Son bonding" MaidCafe said taking off along with the rest of the party.
Yang Hei opened his system screen and requested a party. Which Rachel gratefully accepted.
Some Time Later...
Rachel raised her new spoon in the arm and smacked a large carnivorous plant with it. She was absolutely having a blast, virtual games are better then playing through a screen.
When it was beaten Rachel cheered, as she cheered at the victory.
"I had a lot of fun….But, I'm going to turn in." Rachel smiled, as much as she liked it, she could not take the risk of becoming addicted. Yang Wei is still at a vulnerable point, its not healthy while mentally exhausted and heart broken.
"Alright" Yang Hei, looked at his Dad "I'll see you at home…"
Rachel smiled. "Yes, have fun with your friends" She said logging off. Rachel opened her eyes to the internet café and sighed, she felt the disappointment inside her for quieting to early. It wasn't she started in the morning and ended at the beginning of the afternoon.
She lifted her card which contained her account. She paid her fees at the desk and looked upstairs to where her son should be playing with a light smile and walked out to return home.
At home she quickly started cleaning and preparing while making a few calls to her family.
Around Nine her son came home and sat happily at the dinner table and talked about his day. Rachel could talk he was trying to be happy while ignoring and trying to forget that his mother is no longer in their lives.
But, both are obviously hurting.
Rachel had plans of starting them on therapy, every time she thinks about the wife, its like depression set in and she becomes emotionally distraught.
She absolutely hated that.
After a few months Rachel was watching TV, and gave off a worried expression just as her son walked out from getting dressed for school.
"You okay, Dad?"
"Yes, I'm okay. I put your lunch on the table and have a good day at school" Rachel turned to him immediately and answered with a smile. Before she turned back to the TV.
This is a world where a bunch of youths fight against humanities enemies. So of course, deviation of cities Is still there. The main leads are not yet of age currently so there is more damage to cities, towns, and villages.
Rachel is a bit scared, as when she was young she was incompatible with the HR System. That gave people special powers. All children are tested at a young age to see if they are compatible before being sent to special schools to fight.
At least they are hopefully safe, in the city they're in. She hopes, She heard her son say goodbye and close the door. Rachel sighed and turned off the TV, and got up to go to work, her closed her eyes for a second and looked out the window.
She picked herself up and walked out the door. Slightly whispering something inaudible.
