This project is a new initiative aimed at conveying the 'essence of learning' that the company values to a broader audience. What students gain at our centers is more than just skill improvement.

### Storyline of the Kids Duo Chapter
The second chapter, 'Duet of Misalignment,' focuses on a single mother striving to balance work and parenting, and her 6-year-old son.

In the climax, the son's heartfelt message delivered in English becomes the key to rebuilding their bond.
