Gagan found the little furball really cute.
He was surprised though that she had bought a dog and brought it into the house. As far as he could understand, when the old one died, Aunt Disha was traumatized by the experience, which was why their grandpa had asked them to not have a pet unless it was a turtle.
"They leave too early." He had said, his eyes visibly full of regret.
Yet, there they were now.
Swara was surprised at her brother's indifference to the sudden appearance of the new member of the family.
"Why aren't you surprised?" she uttered, her eyes still at the big guy touching the puppy's skin.
"Oh, I am surprised. How did you get one so soon? You were just talking about it last night when I was coming back from the kit-." he bit his tongue, realising his blunder.
"You ate something from the refrigerator in the middle of the night?" she asked, a slightly annoyed smile appearing on her face.
"I never said anything like that." Gagan said, making sure not to bring his eyes up to the one holding the dog.
"Gagan Govind Gopal Goyal, what did I say about eating stuff at midnight?" she was in full-on mom mode, having completely forgotten about the dog.
Gagan made a whimpering sound that could rival the little dog's when she was taken back by the mom who stomped out.
Well, at least she didn't forget about the dog.
Gagan was sorry, he had tried his best but it was difficult to not be hungry at midnight, especially when there was cake in there.
Then he thought about it. He thought some more about it until he realised something just before his brain fused.
{I didn't listen to her about not eating so late, which made her angry. If I don't listen to her about playing the game, she would be more angry.}
So he went back to the bed and started playing the game.

*Somewhere else*
Artemis scoured the whole Earth and even the nearby planets, yet she couldn't find him anywhere.
It seemed like his consciousness was nowhere in the universe.
This left her perplexed because even if they were to go to one of the other universes, there would still be parts of their consciousness, souls to be exact, somewhere in their own universes.
Hence, she was in a dilemma.
She decided to consult Athena about it, so she called her on one of those hologram phones or whatever it was. (She wasn't a big fan of technology, it was easier to hunt something with its scent.)
Athena picked up her call, she was playing chess with Ares, with a scoreboard to the side that said 6-1.
Artemis was surprised by the scoreboard until Athena noticed it and said, "He cheated in the first game."
She nodded in understanding and then asked for advice on her problem.
Athena looked at her for a few seconds, blinking multiple times, and then asked, "Artemis, be honest, has being Apollo's sister affected you too severely? Or did old Mnemosyne do her magic on you?"
*In the office*
Apollo sneezed heavily again, "I seriously think I've caught a cold."
Koalemos, sitting right next to him, looked at him skeptically, "We can get sick?"
*Back to the video call*
Artemis was confused by Athena's words, but she had understood that whatever the answer was, she knew it but couldn't remember it.
"Just tell me already." she said, wanting to end this job as soon as possible.
"Axonian Adventures" was all she said, before going back to her game, scolding Ares for trying to change the positions of her bishop and queen. She didn't even bother to cut the call.
She face-palmed, {Ohhh!!! How could I forget that.} Then she sighed, {Now I have to explore a world bigger than my old great-grandma. Why did they have to make the game take the whole consciousness.}
She cut the call and went into the game world by wearing her headset.
Since he seemed to love the elves a lot, she started in Filren Amidona, she took on the appearance of a normal wood elf.
Yet, he was nowhere in the whole elf democracy.
She cursed the air because she couldn't even split her consciousness in this world, but she made sure not to use Greek curses, that would be troublesome.
