/Aether… there is no need for you to do this. You have already proven enough to everyone here./
/Come on, husband. Don't hold back. Show them everything!/
/Darling, I believe in you with all my heart, but this is more than just a dance./
Maelona, Liora, and Aria's voices echoed within Aether's mind. Their concern, faith, and fire reached him, yet our hero did not waver.
Aether wanted to prove something, not only to the watching crowd but to himself, to the quiet doubt that sometimes lingered even within his own chest.
He had watched Kaelith dance, watched the way each movement carried intent, love, and promise. The memory of it lingered vividly, the way Kaelith poured emotion into motion, turning steps into meaning.
Aether felt admiration bloom, followed by resolve.
Since Kaelith had offered his dance as a blessing to Aether's engagement, Aether decided to offer his own dance as a gift to Kaelith's marriage.
