He smiles as he says " During this moment, I don't have a single worry. Everything feels so peaceful and calm. It's like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. Like I never went through what I have ". So many thoughts are rushing through his head. Not a single one is negative or makes him feel any less happier.

" In the beginning of everything, I didn't really believe it, when you all said you'd help me experience what it's like to be truly happy. However, looking back now. I see how stupid I was " he pauses, taking a deep breath.

" You have all proven me wrong and I'm beyond grateful for you guys. Everyone tried in their own way, to get me to this point " he says quietly. " In what ways did everyone help you Kuea " Top asks him gently.

He smiles at the thought of how everyone has helped him. " Well, P'Top. You have helped me by not only being the person to give me the best advice but by helping me laugh after stressful situations. If I need advice, you are there. If I need to be cheered up, you are still there to help me " he says, lightly laughing.

" P'Win, you have shown me what it's like to have a caring family. What it's like to have a mother figure in your life. From the first moment you saw me, you instantly tried your best to help me and were so gentle and patient with me. You're a constant reassurance that there's always someone who worries about me " he says, describing how Win has helped him.

" As for Hia Yi, He's always such an amazing and great friend. He tries his hardest to show me what it's like having a friend. One where you simply enjoy spending time together and making memories. He also, is always there to take care of Diao for me when I can't. Which is something that helps calm me down. To know that Diao is always going to have at least one person there for him ".

            " As for P'Black. I almost feel like he's a big brother to me. He's always trying his hardest to protect me from anything bad and always trying to make sure that I'm taking good care of myself. It doesn't matter what I do, he's always there trying to make sure I get nothing but the best. Even when I give up on taking care of myself, he was still there to take care of me ".

            " For Hia Lian, he was my savior. He came to me at the right time and started to break down my walls. Something even Diao wasn't able to do. He showed me what it's like to not only feel special, but loved as well. He always teases me and loves to make me flustered " he says, lightly laughing. " But, he makes sure that I know he loves me ".

            " And finally there's Diao. I could go on and on about how he's helped me. However, the biggest reason he's helped me. Is by giving me a reason to live and to fight. Without him, I would have given up so long ago. He would always talk about things we could do if we weren't apart of the guild. Or even how he thought we'd be without the guild. Which led to me promising that I'd get us both out of the guild. He gave me something to fight for. I wanted to see if the way he thought I'd be, was correct. And I wanted to experience the things Diao said we could do " he says with a smile as he looks down at the ocean, watching the waves crash against the sharp rocks.

            " Was he correct about how you'd be Kuea " Win asks him. He laughs at the question while saying " No, not at all ". It causes Win and Top to laugh as well. " Let's take a photo, to remember this moment " Top says, so he turns to look at him. " I'd love to have a photo of this moment " he says as they all get in frame of Top's phone.

            He's in the middle, between Top and Win. The both of them have an arm wrapped around his back as they take a couple of photos. When they're done, they decide to walk back to the car before it gets to dark. The whole way back it's silent.

            He continues to think about how everyone has helped him. How even Hia Lian's mother had helped him so much. It fills him with hope for the future. And for some reason, he just knows. That when they arrive back at the house. He'll be able to talk in front of everyone.

            Coming on the trip to the hospital with Win and Top turned out a lot better then he could have every imagined and it was a big step in his road to recovery. And for the first time, he doesn't feel scared about recovering. He feels hopeful.

            Today has proven to him that he's recovering a lot. It allowed him to really see that although he is taking a little longer then Diao to recover, he still is recovering as well. He just has to trust the process of his recover and push himself to his limit in order to recover.

            When they get back in the car and start to drive the rest of the way back to the house, they all start to talk about everything that's happened. They're all talking about their point of view from what happened and how they felt during it. The conversation makes the three of them, become closer. It makes him excited, to see how he will get closer with everyone. Because he knows this will happen with more then just Win and Top.
