"Zaru, I have some news," Naelina said as she saw Zaruya. "My elders have agreed to let me leave the tribe and go on my own journey with you."
"Really? That's great!" Zaruya exclaimed, her eyes lighting up with excitement.
"That was too easy," Pika remarked as he got up from his bed and removed his VR head gear. He rubbed his eyes, still adjusting to the real world. "I thought they were going to put up a better fight."
Max, also removing his VR gear, chuckled. "I know, right? It's like they never even stood a chance."
