Rudy considered her request before a mischievous smile played on his lips. "Do you know the meaning of the word 'treat,' Kaguya?" he asked, raising an eyebrow
Kaguya's cheeks tinged with a faint pink hue, but she nodded. "Yes, of course."
Rudy's hand affectionately patted her head, his touch comforting. "Then let me treat you all tonight. It's a small gesture to express how much I value your friendship. When someone treats you, it's because they want to do something nice for you. It's not about repaying, it's about sharing moments and making memories together."
Kaguya couldn't help but smile at his words, her heart warmed by the sincerity in his gaze. "Thank you, Rudy."
She bit her lower lip, her eyes reflecting a mix of gratitude and uncertainty. Rudy's presence had always been a source of comfort for her, a reminder that there was goodness in the world even when her dreams had been dashed before.
