Kaguya's voice interrupted Rudy's thoughts, drawing him back to the present moment. Her gratitude and hope had touched his heart, and he felt a renewed sense of determination. He knew he couldn't change the past, but he could make a difference in the present.
With a soft exhale, Rudy pressed a gentle kiss to the top of Kaguya's head, his embrace providing a silent reassurance. As they parted from their hug, his eyes met hers, conveying his unwavering support.
"Kaguya," he said, his voice steady, "You have the strength to overcome any challenge. No matter what obstacles come your way, remember that you're not alone. You have people who believe in you and your dreams."
