Vicky had first-hand experience of how hard it was to live the life of the rich and famous, so she could understand where Aurora was coming from.
Originally, she came to Neon Club to check on Aurora because she was forced to do so. However, after listening to her, she could not help but sit down beside her and asked, "What's your dream, Aurora?"

Aurora's tone was riddled with disappointment. "Yup… My parents objected to me going into the entertainment industry. They think that celebrities are all… classless people. But I kept persevering. Knowing that I won't give in no matter what they say, they decided to make a deal with me.
"They gave me five years… and if I haven't made a name for myself on the silver screen, I have to quit being an actress. Of course, this is on the condition of not getting any help from them. I was young and naive then… Plus, I just graduated at the top of the class from the best acting school in Molivia…
"The entertainment industry in Molivia is very competitive. They don't hire actors or actresses based on their looks but based on their acting skills. I thought that with me graduating at the top of my class, I'll be able to blaze a trail in Molivia but in the end…"
