Atlas went out to the garden to breathe in some fresh air. The problem Professor Singh gave to him was impossible to answer. He tried different methods, but it didn't make sense to him. Hence, he thought that maybe, if he had a change of view, he would get inspiration.

"What?" Atlas frowned because his parents didn't tell them anything, even though they had been together last night.

Nina quickly wiped her tears and smiled. "They told me they had no choice. I understand why they are sending me away.
