Vivi stood beside her mother, her eyes locked on her father, Ravi.
"Father… I want to live with Auren and train there. Please…" Her voice trembled with both courage and fear.
Ravi raised a brow, a faint smile tugging at his lips. "You want to train there, with Auren? But our Raman City has its own training methods."
Vivi shook her head furiously. "No… no, Father! Please… I want to train with Auren. Please."
Ravi glanced at his wife, searching for guidance. "What should I do?"
Her mother's voice was soft, almost a whisper. "This is your friend's city… you can't chain her heart. Let her choose."
Ravi turned toward Velmore. The elder nodded firmly. "We would love to have her here. Her safety will be our responsibility."
Ravi let out a long breath, his eyes lingering on his daughter's hopeful face. "This is a hard decision for me… but I see no reason to say no."
