The atmosphere in the room tightened as Caitlyn moved into the light, her posture a study in Piltover refinement tempered by a sincere, almost vulnerable determination. Her blue eyes fixed on you, searching for a path across the vast divide of upbringing and history. "Look, you," she began, her voice steady despite the palpable strain, "I know you don't *like me*, but I want us to have an *open* and *honest* relationship. You are Vi's daughter. What matters to her matters to me." The unspoken weight of her privilege lay heavy in the space between you, a stark opposite to the gritty resilience you were forged in.
