After finishing your lovely breakfast, made by your lovely wife, you step into the sim room. Turns out, one kid was enough for Brooklyn. She was sick of giving birth as soon as Eri poked her little head out and vowed that was the last one she was having... You got a vasectomy a few months later... No more kids.

So, the extra kid room you had built was turned into the sim room. Eri isn't allowed in, so she has no idea what is inside even though she passes it every day. Really, it isn't necessary. You could have all this stuff set up in your room, but it's such a hassle. Leaving it all out makes it way easier.

Brooklyn is there, passed out in her chair, machines hooked up to her in case anything happens. You sit down in your chair next to her and start hooking yourself up. You have no idea what have the equipment does. You just know it could save your life.

You: V.

You lie back and close your eyes.

You: All ready to go.

V: Are you sure?

You: Yes.

V: Alright.

There's a flash behind your eyes, and you're gone. You can't feel the chair underneath you, the wires across your arms, the weight of the gear attached to you. You're floating.

V: Does it feel alright?

You: Mhm.

V: You're not uncomfortable at all?

You: Nope.

V: It didn't hurt?

You: It did not.

They ask you these questions every time you enter.

V: One moment.

You wait their moment, and then there's a whoosh. You don't even have your eyes open, and you're already being led somewhere.

You: Let me get my bearings first.

Brooklyn: Nope.

You're on the bed before you even open your eyes for the first time.

Brooklyn: V. Privacy.

V: Press the button on the wall whenever I can come back.

Brooklyn: Thank you.

She plants her hands on your chest and leans down. Her face hovers just above yours.

Brooklyn: It's good to have some alone time.

You: We had some last night.

Brooklyn: With the fear of Eri running into the room at any moment. That makes it less fun.

You don't get much alone time. Eri is a handful. Sometimes, Emma or Violet will take her for a while, and the two of you will go out for dinner or something, but typically you're stuck with Eri. Not that that's a bad thing, but you want time with Brooklyn every once in a while.

Brooklyn: How long has it been since we actually had some time to just enjoy ourselves?

You: A few months.

Brooklyn: Mhm.

She bites her lip and looks down at yours.

Brooklyn: So let's enjoy ourselves.

The bubble is the best. It's just yours and Brooklyn's. No one else will even see the inside of it. V made it just for you.

There is no way in except through V. No way out except through V. There are no doors, no secret entrances or exits, nothing. Brooklyn likes to joke that maybe one day V will lock the two of you inside, but that's not so bad.
