Mama Bear
AiDi sweetie, I just wanted to check in on you. I heard from Hana that things have been really tough. Remember that it's completely okay to feel upset and confused right now. Sometimes, the ones we love can hurt us the most, even if they don't mean to. I'm here for you always.

Papa Bear
Hey bud, I can only imagine how you're feeling after everything that happened. It must be incredibly painful to feel like you're not being seen or valued for who you are. Just know that your feelings are valid, and you deserve to be in a relationship where you're loved openly. If you want to talk more about it, I'm here to listen.

Sunshine
Thanks, Mama and Papa. I appreciate your support. I'm just so tired of feeling like I'm in the shadows. It hurts to know that someone I care about so deeply is hiding our relationship. I want to be loved openly too, but I don't know how to move past this.

Hana
I know it hurts, AiDi. You've always been so strong, but it's natural to feel vulnerable when your heart is involved. It's okay to take your time to process everything. Remember, what you're feeling is normal, and you're not alone in this. Whatever you decide to do, just know that I'm right here by your side.

Mama Bear
Absolutely, AiDi. Love should not be a secret. Your feelings are important, and you deserve someone who is proud to stand beside you. Take all the time you need to heal and figure things out. I'll be here cheering you on, even from afar.

Papa Bear
You have a lot of people who care about you, AiDi. Relationships are complicated, but I believe in you. Just remember that communication is key, and sometimes, it's worth taking the leap to be honest about how you feel. Whatever you decide, we support you—always.

Sunshine
I just want to know why he would choose to hide me. It makes me wonder if I ever meant anything to him at all. Should I even give him another chance?

Hana
It's natural to question everything, especially when someone you care about seems to want to hide your relationship. But remember that people react differently out of fear. Give yourself the time you need to think about whether you can move past this together. And if you can't, that's okay too. Your peace of mind is essential.

Mama Bear
Yes, my sweet child. You have the right to set boundaries about what you want in a relationship. Don't rush into decisions. When you do feel ready, just be open and honest about your feelings. No matter what you choose, we will be here to support you every step of the way.

Papa Bear
Just remember, it's okay to take things one day at a time. You're stronger than you realize, and this will not be the end of your story. Love is challenging, but it can also lead to beautiful experiences and growth.

Sunshine
Thanks, everyone. I really appreciate your support. It means more than you know. I'll try to take it slow and work through everything.

Hana
We believe in you, AiDi. Just let yourself feel and process. We're all in this together.❤️
