Scene: Kei gathers the family, concerned about the lingering energy around Aether. Her own experience with the crystal's power leaves her wary and protective.

Kei: voice steady but firm "Aether, I can feel what's happening to you. That crystal, it left its mark. We can't ignore this—we need to understand what it has done to you."

Aether: uneasy "Mother, I don't want to become a threat to any of you. If this power is dangerous, then maybe... I should leave."

Nova: taking his hand, her voice resolute "No. We didn't fight to bring you back only to lose you now. We'll find a way to control it, together."

Zephyr: smirking "Besides, you've always been the quiet one. This is your chance to show off a bit of power, right?"

Aether manages a small smile, reassured by his family's unwavering support. But deep down, he fears what the crystal's dark energy might awaken within him.
