At the park, Ria spots a rope ladder she has never climbed before. She wants to try, but the moment it wobbles, her tummy feels wobbly too. The Lumina League do not push her to reach the top. Instead, they show her that a try can be one foot, one rung or simply deciding that today is not the day. With Maya nearby and the League quietly encouraging her, Ria takes a few steps at her own pace and discovers that bravery is not about being the fastest. It is about listening to yourself and noticing every little bit of courage along the way.
