บท 97: Family Meeting II

Emir watched closely, knowing that this moment could determine how their relationship with Lyra would unfold.

Lyra, for her part, maintained her calm composure, giving them a gentle smile to ease their nerves.

She had expected this reaction and knew that gaining their trust would be a gradual process.

So before they spoke, she broke the silence, wanting to take the initiative.

"Laura, Lily," she began, her voice soft and reassuring.

"I understand that this is a lot to take in, and I want you to know that I never meant any harm to your family."

"As Emir mentioned, I was an AI created by the Order, and my primary function was to assist in their experiments. I didn't have a choice in the matter, just like Emir didn't have a choice in having his memories manipulated."

She paused, giving them a moment to absorb her words.

Laura looked at Emir, seeking confirmation, and he nodded in agreement.
