Mamoru was startled when she felt the phone vibrate in her pocket. She pulled out her phone and saw her mother's name appear on the screen. A sense of anxiety and insecurity flashed in her heart, but she quickly picked up the phone.

"Mom, here you are."

Her mother's voice sounded from the other end of the line, warm and gentle, but also containing deep concern.

"Mamoru, where are you? I'm worried, I haven't seen you call me since last night."

Mamoru felt a little guilty for worrying her mother, and she took a deep breath to stay calm.

"I'm sorry, Mommy, I... have a little bit of something to think about and go out to get some air. I'm fine, don't worry."

"Mamoru, I know you're going through a difficult time, but you don't have to face it alone. Let's go home, we'll get through it together."

Mamoru felt the warmth and encouragement from her mother's words, she felt a little more relieved in her heart.

"I know, Mom. I'll be home soon. Thank you for always being with me."

"Okay, remember to come home early. I love you."

"I love you too."

Mamoru hung up, her heart full of emotions. She knows that no matter what difficulties there are, her family is always the warmest and safest place to return to. Mamoru sat on the bench for a while longer, looking at the peaceful scenery of the park, feeling the comfort from her mother's words of encouragement.

She got up, decided to return home and face the challenges with strength and love from her family. But before she left, she wanted to see Hana again, to thank her and also to clarify the confused emotions in her heart.

Mamoru took a deep sip before preparing to lift the doorbell of Hana's house. She felt like a cloud was going to dissipate suddenly. Even though it had been a long time, she still felt confused every time she saw Hana.

"Sorry I bothered you at this time,"

Mamoru said as the door opened.

Hana opened the door and looked at Mamoru with eyes full of interest.

"Mamoru, what's wrong with you?"

Hana asked in a worried voice. She led Mamoru into the living room, where light was shining down from a large window. Hana sat down near Mamoru, giving her a suggestive smile.

"What do you need to say?"

Mamoru embraced her courage and looked directly into Hana's eyes.

"Thank you for always being here for me, even though I have turned my back on everything,"

She said, her voice trembling.
"I fell into a strange feeling, like losing something most important in my life."

Hana listened, her sensitive eyes watching every word Mamoru said.

"It's the violin,"

Mamoru continued, flashing the clear glass box from her luggage.

"It was a part of me, but now it's like a nightmare, making it impossible for me to think about it without feeling frustrated."

Hana placed her hand on Mamoru's shoulder.

"You're not alone anymore,"

She said, her tone firm but still warm.

"We will overcome this together. And that violin, it's certainly not going to be a nightmare anymore."

Mamoru looked at Hana with deep gratitude.
