Akira wasn't happy to learn that Ava had opted to study at M.I.T. She figured that it had something to do with her stone-cold older brother James. They must have had a falling out during their time in the Philippines to watch the EXODUS concert.
She intended to have a word with her older brother once they arrived in the Kingdom of Stonasia. Little did she know that it would be easier said than done, since James was planning on transferring schools and would not be in Stonasia by the time they arrived.
Pearl was also shocked when she found out that Ava would not be attending Imperial College. She was looking forward to at least seeing her on the weekends or whenever they were both free. But now, that would be tough since she was going to be in another country altogether.
