Chapter:-24

The Aftermath

As the chamber stopped shaking, the contestants found themselves back in the game room.

They looked around, confused and disoriented.

Echo stood before them, a warm smile on her face.

"Congratulations, contestants," she said. "You have passed the final test."

"But what does it mean?" Haru asked, his eyes locked on Echo's.

"It means that you have proven your love and devotion to each other," Echo replied. "And as a reward, you will be granted a single wish each."

The contestants exchanged excited glances.

A single wish each?

What would they choose?

Lily's eyes shone with tears as she turned to Haru.

"I want to wish for a life together," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Haru's eyes locked onto hers, and he smiled.

"I want the same," he said.

Sam and Emily exchanged a glance, and Sam nodded.

"I want to wish for happiness and success for Emily," he said.

Emily's eyes shone with tears as she turned to Sam.

"I want the same for you," she said.

Echo smiled, her eyes gleaming with approval.

"Your wishes are granted," she said.

And with that, the contestants felt a strange sensation wash over them.

They looked at each other, and saw that they were surrounded by a bright, white light.

The light grew brighter and brighter, until they could see nothing else.

And then, everything went black...

Epilogue:

The contestants woke up to find themselves back in their own beds.

They looked around, confused and disoriented.

And then, they remembered.

They remembered the game, and the final test.

They remembered their wishes, and the bright, white light.

They looked at each other, and smiled.

They knew that their lives would never be the same again.

And they were grateful for it.

As they went about their daily lives, they noticed that things were different.

Their relationships with each other were stronger, deeper.

They felt a sense of connection, of unity.

And they knew that it was all because of the game.

They had been brought together, tested and tried.

And in the end, they had emerged victorious.

Their love for each other had conquered all.

And they lived happily ever after...

The End.
