Nora stretched as she stepped out of the dimly lit movie theater, her body slightly stiff from sitting for nearly two
hours.
The film had been entertaining enough, but now that it was over, she found
herself with extra tand no particular plan for the evening.
As she glanced around, her gaze landed on the bright, flashing lights of an arcade
just a few steps away.
The neon sign above the entrance flickered in vibrant blues and reds, inviting passersby inside.
A wave of nostalgia hit her-she hadn't visited an arcade in years.
"Aunt Nora."
Abby gently tugged on Nora's sleeve, her gaze was attracted by the ghall not far away, her eyes flashing
with a curiosity she couldn't hide, "Can you taketo play that?"
Cole laughed helplessly, his tone carrying a few hints of teasing in his tone, "I've brought you by here several

Abby slightly reddened her face, her voice shy and cautious, "Because...... | want auntie to play with me
"Sure."
Nora agreed with alacrity, the corner of her mouth raising a smile she also somewhat missed the lively
atmosphere of the ghall.
Curious, she walked through the entrance, immediately greeted by the familiar cacophony of gsounds: the
electronic beeps of racing games, the rapid gunfire from shooting booths, and the excited cheers of players
celebrating their victories.
The air smelled faintly of popcorn and the plastic-like scent of well-worn gcontrollers.
Nora wandered through the rows of machines, taking in the variety of games- claw machines stuffed with plush
toys, classic pinball machines, and rows of fighting games where players battled furiously against each other.
"Uncle, | want that one!"
Abby's gaze was firmly attracted by the pink rabbit plush toy on the counter, her eyes instantly lit up, her

tone dripping with unconcealed excitement.
"Little girl, this is a non-sale item."
The store clerk on the side reminded with a smile. "This is a special prize for our store's racing game, only by
breaking the record and placing in the top three can you win this doll."
"So......" Abby's excitement faded a few moments later, a hint of loss appearing on her face.
Cole followed her gaze to the racing gmachine, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly- this was his
specialty.
Just as he was about to throw in a coin for the challenge, a coin fell into the slot ahead of him.
"Lettry."
The sleek arcade cabhad a large screen displaying a high-speed track, a steering wheel, and foot pedals.
Smirking to herself, Nora slid a token into the slot and took her seat.
Cole looked at her with ssurprise, did Nora, who seemed to have a gentle and sensible demeanor, even play
racing games?

She gripped the steering wheel tightly, maneuvering her digital car through sharp turns and narrow alleyways.
The rush of the gpulled her in, and she leaned forward with determination, her heart pounding as she
dodged obstacles and passed rival racers.
With a final burst of speed, she crossed the finish line in first place, the words **"WINNER!"** flashing
across the screen.
The gtimer popped up in gold font and the rankings flew up, eventually stopping in second place.
A small grin spread across her face.
A small crowd had gathered around, murmuring in admiration.
It was an old skill, honed in her college years when video games had been her refuge from stress.
Once, she had been offered a place in a professional gaming team. She had turned them down, prioritizing her
studies and future career.
But here, in the familiar embrace of the arcade, she felt the sthrill she had back then-a moment of
weightless freedom.
