His mother's memory would always live on within him, a guiding light that would illuminate his path forward, inspiring him to become the protector he was destined to be.

And as he rose to his feet, his heart heavy but his spirit unbroken, he knew that no matter what trials lay ahead, he would face them with unwavering courage and determination.
