After mother's decision, we ultimately ended agreeing. Some more willing than others, we understood the important purpose behind these, and we couldn't just reject the opportunity to become stronger and learn more about other people and the world around us.
Zack and Luck were especially excited about this, as they wanted to grow much stronger to probably catch up with us. Mist seemed slightly nervous about it, Lara was just as lax as ever, happy to just go along with the flow.
Aquarina had made a whole tantrum about it before but was now accepting it more easily. Celeste and Celica were okay with it, though Celica said she'll miss her mom, Celeste was fine with going anywhere, apparently.
