It gave him closure.

He didn't know it was possible to feel more loved by her than he already did.

His mother was determined to ensure that Rui wouldn't spend the rest of his life hating himself for not being there.

And she had succeeded.

He felt as though his heart had grown stronger.

It had grown stronger from the ever-present and eternal love that his mother always had for him.

Her words made a soft, grateful smile appear on his face.

His eyes lit up with interest at her words. "You mean…?"
