"Mama" Felicia call her mother in almost crying voice.
Lucia Marcus look up to see her daughter looking sad. She thought Felicia was still mad and sad about last night. As a mother that loves her daughter she also did not want to force her. If not, for her father wished. She would never force Felicia.
But now, looking at her daughter so sad.She starts to think how to avoid the marriage without angering her father. Lucia did not want her father to end up in a hospital because of heart attack or anger. As healthy as he looks, the old man definitely cannot take that kind of simulation.
"Come, I have already cook your favorite meal. Mama apologized for last night but you have to understand. You grandfather is sick and old, this was his last wish. I cannot bear to refuse your grandfather wish. But if you really don't want to get marry with Ian, I will try my best to somehow turn down the marriage. Afterall, you were the only and my most beloved daughter that I have" Lucia took her daughter's hand and held it gently as if to give her support to her daughter.
Felicia starts to choke with tears as she said
" I'm...sorry mom. I did not mean to get angry last night. I-I...I will try to accept this marriage. But I have to meet him first, I need to know what kind of person he is" Felicia hug her mother tightly. Tear rush out as she makes her decision.
This scene did not happen in her past life as she avoids all her family until the day she runs away leaving a piece of paper to make sure they don't find her. Although her family still send someone to pick her up but at that time she was stubborn and under the influenced of the system props. Until her grandfather forbid the family to make any contact with Felicia. But they will sometimes come to meet her secretly, only to be ignored by her.

Until four months later, the influenced end. Even when she wants to return she was too ashamed and afraid. She did not understand why she can do that kind of thing. So she thought at least until she succeeds she will return home to apologize to her parents but then the apocalypse arrived and she never meet them again. But she did hear the area where her family lives have no survivor as it was one of the areas where Zombie virus spread the fastest.
When she thought to find them, Christina begs her not to go. It was too far and dangerous at that time to go back to her family home. So she gives up once again under the system influenced. How could Christina let her go as Felicia was an Air Protoss that can protect her until she found another strong man that can protect her.
"Well stop crying, today your mother personally cook. It's rare to taste her delicious food" Warren Marcus say
"Daddy" Felicia release her mother and give a big hug to his father
"Urrgghh...my princess is so heavy. I think my waist is going to break" Warren says jokingly
"Daddy. I'm not heavy" Felicia pout.
"Yes...yes Fefe, just as light as a feather that can be blown away by the wind" Warren chuckle lightly
"Mama! Look at daddy, he always likes to make a joke on my weight" Felicia complaining to Lucia
*Clap*
"...now stop let's us go to the dining room, we don't want it cold. the food would not taste good" Lucia give a wry smile looking at this father and daughter
"Well daddy start this first"
"Yes..it's daddy fault, now come. You did not eat last night I'm sure you hungry"
They went to the dining room. Felicia almost forgets how big the dining room was. Afterall, when he runs away, Felicia can only afford to rent a small room.

It was a rich breakfast, freshly cooked egg benedict, bacon, toast, a variety of jam, waffles with flax and almond butter, scramble egg and freshly squeezed orange juice.
Felicia saliva almost droll out. Well, she cannot help it. Afterall, Felicia spends 3 years in the apocalypse. The longer the time pass, the harder to find something to eat. Egg, sweets, desserts were almost extinct. Even if there were enough ingredients, not many people have the hearts to spend the ingredient making dessert.
"Try taste it, although I'm not sure how it would taste. I follow the recipe precisely and it look's good, certainly, the taste is also good...I hope?" Lucia looks nervously at her daughter and husband.
"Well what should I eat first" Felicia took the egg benedict and eat it with proper etiquette. She really just wants to gobble up all the foods but she did not want to appear like a person without a manner. Although her family, not the type to put important on etiquette Felicia still had to learn. So that, when she eats in front of other family or went to the banquet. She will not tarnish the Marcus Family name.
"Well, it tastes good" Felicia compliment her mother sincerely. She feels her heart heal, all difficulties from her past lives reduced seeing how happy her family were.
"Well, I'm glad you like it" Lucia face beaming with happiness. After hearing all the compliment from her daughter and husband.
As Felicia munch the food.
'crunch'.
'I think I just bite the eggshell'. Without any change on her face, Felicia resume eating her food. The food tastes good but sometime Felicia will found eggshell, or accidentally bite the bitter orange seeds and tiny pieces of orange skin. Overall, it was a warm breakfast that Felicia had not experienced for a long time.

Many Minded
Synopsis: Issa Pyxis, Spacer orphan and illegal heretic, graduated from living on the streets to running with a gang years ago, but now it looks like that’s all going to change. Her inheritance, more specifically who—or what—she is, is catching up with her, and on a planet with the Emperor’s inquisitors slinking around in every shadow, nowhere is safe and no one can be trusted. What will she do? A cyberpunk story about identity, loneliness, covert infiltration, evil dystopias, and much more! Features: - Cyborgs and cyberpunk galore - This is indented to be somewhat “rational” and “hard” Sci-Fi story - Original Fiction however parts of my worldbuilding are inspired by other Sci-Fi stories (duh) Rationale: The future is cool, AIs are kickass, and questions about consciousness are simultaneously existential and yet unanswered. To me, this story is a vehicle for exploring these topics, and also, I wanted to write a story where the protagonist was unafraid of themselves and where their self is more like a git-repo than a meat computer. Disclaimer: This story primarily takes place in what we’d describe as a “cyberpunk dystopia” with some extra technocracy, autocracy, and religious fervor thrown into the mix, so there will be some “grittiness” in this story. Caveat emptor. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character and other characters in my story can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way they view the world isn’t always objective truth (if such a thing even exists) nor do their views and opinions necessarily reflect the views of me, the author. Cover art by me! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
