At a family meal Yulia pleads to go with Jensen while he stays silent; someone tells her she can change her mind before they leave, but she refuses. Others scoff until Yulia says she'll endure two hard years because afterward she'll be set for life and Jensen is exactly her type. Her parents press for a decision; Yulia apologizes for past immaturity and announces they will move to the countryside together. Her parents accept once they learn the money will ease the family's burden. Departure is imminent, and the cost of those two years remains unresolved.
