Creating Chances for Everyone

"Do you remember the time we snuck into the kitchen and made a mess trying to cook unknown ingredients?" Zetian reminisced, a playful glimmer in her eyes as the siblings gathered in her cozy room, ready to settle down for the night.

Naomi chuckled, a fond smile playing on her lips. "How could I forget? We ended up with burnt pans and a furious cook chasing us through the house. But it was worth it, wasn't it? The thrill of our misadventure and the laughter we shared made it an unforgettable experience."

Xianne nodded, her eyes sparkling with mirth. "Absolutely worth it. Those were the moments that made us closer than ever. We had each other's backs and braved the consequences together. It was a testament to our unbreakable bond."

Their conversation meandered through different topics, their voices filled with affection and understanding. They shared stories of their childhood escapades, the times they built secret forts in the deserted land behind their residence, and the imaginative worlds they created within the virtual world of starnet. With each anecdote, their laughter filled the room, echoing the joy they had experienced together.

As sleep slowly claimed them, their hands intertwined, the sisters knew that their unity and unwavering love would be their guiding light through the storm that lay ahead. They closed their eyes, finding comfort in the embrace of family, knowing that together they could overcome any obstacle that dared to threaten their cherished bond.

The soft glow of the moonlight streamed through the curtains, casting a gentle illumination on their peaceful faces. In that tranquil moment, their dreams intertwined, carrying them to a realm where their bond was packed and their hearts were free from worry.

The room filled with whispers of their shared promises. Promises to face the world hand in hand, to lift each other up when one stumbled, and to celebrate their victories together. These were the vows they silently made, bound by blood and love.

The following week, the sisters reluctantly bid farewell, accompanied by their grandmother, and returned to the institute. It was a bittersweet parting, as they cherished the time spent together but understood the importance of attending to their responsibilities. However, for Zetian, the return to school was delayed, as their family doctor advised her to rest for another month before resuming her studies.

Zetian's mother took on the responsibility of caring for her at home, ensuring her recovery progressed smoothly. The robotic servants, programmed to be attentive and helpful, sometimes became a source of annoyance for Zetian. Despite their well-intentioned actions, she longed for the genuine human connection that only her family could provide.

Seeking some time alone, Zetian found herself sitting in the garden, surrounded by beautifully crafted synthetic plants. The sight brought a temporary sense of tranquility, but her mind was burdened with thoughts of the places beyond her secluded residence. Growing up in luxury, she only saw goodness throughout her childhood, without the need to worry about money or living.

As she sipped on a cup of artificially flavored juice, her gaze shifted to the news displayed on a holographic screen. The reports showcased the unrest and riots occurring in the distant suburbs of the planet, far from the luxurious confines of the Capital city where she resided. Zetian's heart swelled with empathy as she observed the struggles of the common people.

The riots were fueled by a myriad of issues, one of which was the stark economic disparity caused by the genetic mutations that some individuals possessed. Those without genetic enhancements faced limited job opportunities and lower income, leading to a cycle of poverty and frustration. The unfairness of it all weighed heavily on Zetian's conscience, and she couldn't help but ponder the role she played in this society as a privileged citizen.

Lost in her thoughts, Zetian engaged in a silent self-conversation. She questioned the state of the world she inhabited, wondering how the concept of equality had become so distorted. She couldn't fathom why genetic enhancements should determine the worth and opportunities of an individual. It pained her to witness the division and injustice that plagued their society.

Zetian's thoughts then turned to her own family's revelation. She had recently discovered that they belonged to the ancient tribe of Lycans, a group known for their strength and resilience but also subjected to prejudice and discrimination. The realization further fueled her empathy for those experiencing similar marginalization.

At that moment, Zetian resolved to use her position of privilege to make a difference. She yearned to break free from the confines of her sheltered existence and contribute to a world where everyone, regardless of their genetic makeup, had the chance to thrive and be treated with dignity.

Her mind buzzed with ideas and dreams of creating opportunities for those less fortunate and fostering an environment of inclusivity and understanding. Zetian understood that change wouldn't happen overnight, but she was determined to play her part, however small it may be, in dismantling the barriers that separated people and hindered progress.

As she sat there, surrounded by the synthetic beauty of her garden, a newfound determination ignited within Zetian. She realized that her family's history and her own experiences had shaped her into a compassionate individual, one who recognized the value of empathy and the power of unity.

"I should identify what common people lack and create an organization that would help them in exchange for work points," Zetian murmured.

She knew that money alone would not solve the deep-rooted issues plaguing the lives of those less privileged. What they needed was an opportunity to uplift themselves, regain their dignity, and have a fair chance at a better life.

As she pondered ways to make her vision a reality, Zetian began researching the specific challenges faced by the common people in the suburbs. She delved into their struggles, learning about their limited access to quality education, healthcare, and essential resources. The more she discovered, the more driven she became to make a tangible difference.

Zetian vowed to use her voice, her resources, and her unwavering love for her fellow citizens to advocate for a better world. In the face of the challenges ahead, Zetian's empathy would be the guiding force, propelling her towards a future where no one would be judged by their genetic makeup but rather by the content of their character and abilities.
