As the day draws to a close, you find yourself sitting beside Lily on a nearby bench, watching the other cadets train with fondness and envy in equal measure. "You know," she says quietly, her eyes fixed on a group of younger trainees practicing their basic skills nearby, "I think you're going to make a really great hero someday."

You smile at her gratefully, unsure how to respond. She smiles back before leaning in close, her voice barely above a whisper. "

There's an almost conspiratorial air about the moment as Lily continues to confide in you. She tells you of her hopes and dreams for the future, and how much she wants to make a difference as a hero. You listen intently, feeling honored that she would trust you with such personal thoughts.

As the sun begins to dip below the horizon, signaling the end of another long day at training, you can't help but feel a sense of camaraderie and belonging settling into your bones.
