Rin was staring down at her hands with sadness written all over her face.
"I messed up again," she said in a voice filled with disappointment.
Arianna immediately stepped closer and placed one hand gently on Rin's shoulder.
"Hey, don't be so hard on yourself. You were so close that time."
Laela moved to Rin's other side and nodded in agreement. "You really were," she added warmly. "We could see it forming this time. You're getting better with every attempt."
Rin looked up at them both with uncertainty still lingering in her eyes, but their encouragement seemed to ease some of the disappointment she felt.
Arianna glanced at Laela, and they exchanged a look before turning back toward Rin together.
"How about we take a break for now?" Arianna suggested.
Laela nodded in agreement. "We can try again later when you're feeling refreshed."
Rin hesitated for a moment before finally nodding slowly. "Okay."
And then, without warning, Aiden appeared before them.
