Inside the council chamber, Vetra stands beside Kokoro as they present their case to several high-ranking members. Their voices are strong and unwavering despite facing such powerful opposition. After hours of heated debate, it is decided that their situation will be reviewed further - with an investigative team being dispatched to assess the validity of their claims against the captain and his treatment of them. Though they still face obstacles, hope burns brightly within them both - fueled by love and determination to make things right.

She looks up at you, her eyes serious despite the smile on her lips. "I promise," she whispers, tracing a circle on your chest with her finger. "This is different. I trust you." Her words send a shiver down your spine; it's a heady feeling to know that she believes in you so completely, that she trusts you enough to let herself be vulnerable like this.
