As spring returned once more, Ren felt ready to start a new chapter. He began teaching creative writing at a local school, sharing his passion with students who reminded him of his younger self. The classroom became a place of growth, not just for them but for him, as he learned from their innocence, hope, and courage.
One day, Ayumi visited him after class, watching as he packed up his things. "You seem happy here," she observed, a smile lighting her face.
Ren nodded, a peaceful smile on his lips. "I think I've finally found where I belong."
With a new sense of purpose, he embraced this chapter of his life, knowing that he'd found a path worth following, not for anyone else but for himself.
