Yang Dao walked back to the orphanage with Lisa in tow. The couple was silent throughout the hike. It was already lunchtime when they came back, and the children all were waiting for them at the entrance. As they saw Yang Dao walking over, they all cheered.
The boy stopped as he saw the scene and said, "Lisa, do you think you are stuck in those scenes you have been trained for in the machine?"
Lisa nodded. Her face seemed to have become paralyzed as soon as she woke up from the training. Even if the whole scene was something she did not go through physically but she was very affected by it. Yang Dao said, "Have you diluted curd with water?"
Lisa nodded hard. She had spent a lot of time in the kitchen and had her fair share of marination and stuff. The boy said, "Look at these kids. Think of them as curd and you are the water. Tell me, how do you blend the water? Speak."
