These five souls, too, were ensnared by the unforgiving label of ordinariness, cast aside by a society that often underappreciated their potential. Remarkably, they all hailed from esteemed backgrounds, yet their circumstances had humbled them profoundly.
Lucian's own adversity served as a catalyst, rekindling a glimmer of hope within them. As they absorbed the essence of his hardships and dreams, they collectively resolved to align their fates with his.
Their motivation was twofold: to bear witness to the future that Lucian fervently pursued and to embark on their own journeys towards personal strength and self-discovery.
Luke welcomed the arrival of new customers with a sense of happiness.
