"So....." Victoria looked at where her Golden Retriever teammate had vanished. "What do we do now?"
"Do I need to jump down after it?"
"Or will it respawn here by itself?"
She turned to look at where it had just slumped to the ground.
If there was any place working as a save point, it would definitely be where the game had started.
But the Golden Retriever didn't appear there. It was hoisted up by three giant balloons, slowly lifted and then thrown back onto the large mushroom.
"Pop!"
One balloon burst, and the other two quickly ascended until they disappeared.
"Woof." The Golden Retriever glanced at Victoria and guiltily turned its head away.
"..." Victoria wisely decided not to watch. She silently backed away, started to run and took a leap of faith!
She landed stably on the other side, and then turned around to scornfully look at the foolish Golden Retriever.
