Haruto face the reality

After what Zinkin told him, it deeply touched Haruto. He couldn't sleep that night. He cried, feeling like he had failed his father by not trying to fulfill his wish. But in his heart, he believed it wasn't too late—he could still make things right.

Early the next morning, before the sun had fully risen, Haruto stood at Zinkin's door. He knocked gently, a small smile on his face.

Zinkin opened the door, surprised.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Nothing," Haruto replied. "I just want to face reality now—to fulfill my father's wish."

Zinkin was taken aback by the sudden change in Haruto's heart. He smiled and hugged him warmly.

"I never imagined you would change your mind," Zinkin said with pride.

"I'll make my father proud," Haruto said with determination. "Even if it takes my last breath, I will honor him."

Zinkin nodded. "I'm proud of you. Now it's time to be brave. Don't fear the fight."

He handed Haruto a cup and pointed to the well. "Fetch the water. This is the beginning of your journey."
