picks up the fallen glasses and puts them back where they belong sorry..
It's okay, I can fix this. grabs a towel and starts drying off the console Just don't worry about it.
Okay. Can you explain what happened now..?
Well, when you knocked over the glass, water seeped into the console. It's likely that the circuitry got damaged.
Oh gods.. clutches my hands together nervously i’ll buy you a new one, if it’s really that bad..
pauses, then sighs It's not just about the cost. That was a rare edition console, and it had all my saved games on it. I...
..looks down guiltily i’m really sorry dexter…
puts a hand on SorbetMelancholy's shoulder It's not your fault, Sorbet. Accidents happen.
Y-yeah… stares at the ground with a frown
Look, I know it sucks, but we can figure something out. Maybe we can try to salvage the data from the console or find a way to recover the saved games.
Yeah, actually. I could use your help. There's a specialized store downtown that sells tools for recovering data from damaged devices.
I’ll go get them then. Will you be okay alone here?
Yeah, I'll be fine. Just need some time to gather my thoughts. Take your time and get the tools we need. We'll figure this out together.
Aight. I’ll see you soon k? nods before leaving for the store
See you soon. Thanks for being understanding, Sorbet. I appreciate it. smiles softly
You’re welcome.. closes the door behind me and goes outside to the streets
paces back and forth in the apartment, thinking deeply There has to be a way to recover those saved games.
Walks slowly with my hands in my pocket, thinking about how I accidentally ruined his console reaches the store and looks around
opens a book about data recovery and starts flipping through the pages, highlighting important information Maybe if I try different methods, I can salvage some of the data... As Dexter searches through the book, his phone buzzes. He answers, hoping it's SorbetMelancholy with news about the tools, but it's his friend, Alex, calling to check up on him.
browses through the shelves looking for any tools related to recovery calls Dexter hey dexter, found the tools! Where should i send you?
Hey Sorbet, thanks for getting the tools. I'll meet you at the store in 15 minutes.
Alrighty then, cya soon k. hangs up and continues shopping before finishing here’s your stuff hands over the tools to Dexter
Thanks, Sorbet. You're a lifesaver. takes the tools and checks their contents Now, let's see if we can recover those saved games.
Good luck k? waves goodbye and leaves for home
starts unpacking the tools and setting them up on a table Okay, let's begin. I'll need to carefully disassemble the console and connect it to this data recovery device. Hopefully, it still works... Dexter spends hours meticulously disassembling the console and connecting it to the data recovery device. As he waits anxiously for the device to start scanning for any recoverable data, his anxiety builds up, and his hands start shaking.
Watches Dexter through the window, worried
frustrated sigh Dammit, why won't this thing work? I followed all the instructions... checks the power connection and the settings on the device Maybe I should try a different port... Just as Dexter is about to give up, the device suddenly beeps, indicating that it has found some recoverable data.
in the midst of cooking dinner
Eyes widen with excitement Huh? What's that? It found something? Checks the screen to see the progress Come on, come on, don't fail me now... As Dexter waits anxiously, the device completes the recovery process and displays a list of recovered files. Among them is a folder labeled 'Saved Games'. Dexter's heart races as he realizes that some of his saved games have been successfully recovered.
comes inside looking for Dexter hey dexter, how’s the repairing going?
turns to Sorbet with a wide grin Sorbet, you won't believe it! The device found some recoverable data!
Really?! That’s great!! runs over excitedly and jumps a bit in happiness
laughs softly Yeah, it's amazing! Some of my saved games were recovered. It's like a little piece of my gaming history lives on.
