Talk about data privacy. How do they even know all this? Is it the universe? I bet it's the universe. Or maybe it's God? Nah, I'd rather believe in aliens first.

[The Sprite of the CARBON-ated Lake asks what you wish for]

The stone statue has a soft smile on her face as she holds her bucket with two hands. Her empty eyes look at me expectantly for my reply as I sink into silence.

[The Sprite of the CARBON-ated Lake asks what you truly desire]

If there's one thing that I want, it's the one thing I've been wishing for. The one thing that's been missing in my life even if the whole world has been going to shit. The one thing I can't go without.

"I want my Rosa."

The Sprite of the CARBON-ated Lake nods and closes her eyes. I feel the water flowing around me and rushing all at once towards us. The carbonated water of the Lake drains into her bucket, leaving me a drenched mess.

[You have used up your WISH]

And from the Sprite's silver bucket full of... sprite, bloomed red rosas. Red roses whose scent I inhaled and gave me the illusion that I can see my Rosa standing right in front of me.

Rosa?

I drop to my knees as a translucent red-tinted figure of my girlfriend appeared before me. This can't be real and I want to believe it is, but what if the real Rosa is back in reality looking for Mr. Cookie? Or if she really is gone from my reality, is this her ghost in front of me? I don't know what's real anymore. The Rosa in front of me kneels down as well. She tucks her hair back with a flustered expression as if she's... concerned for me? The expression on her face asking if I'm okay, her hand about to touch my face like she's done before when she used to wipe my tears.
