"No, no. I understand what you are thinking, but you can't do that," Aurelio spoke seriously.

"But I want to be with you, Aurelio. Even if it means leaving the Pinhian Republic, I will do it," Serena declares.

Aurelio gazed at Serena, his expression softening. "I'm touched by your devotion, Serena. But leaving your home and everything you've ever known behind for me? That's a burden no one should bear.

I couldn't live with myself if I allowed that to happen."

However, Serena didn't give up as she tried her best to convince him, "…Aurelio, all my life, I have always felt something was missing from my life. And that feeling has faded ever since you appeared before me."
