(Misaki's parents exchanged glances in silence, as if a silent conversation passed between their eyes. Then, Mr. Tanaka turned to Ahmed, his voice tone having softened, and a small, but sincere, smile appeared on his face.)
Mr. Tanaka: "Ahmed-kun... We are truly grateful to you. We don't know how to express our thanks, you protected our daughter and took care of her when she needed it."
(Mrs. Tanaka steps forward with quiet steps, places her hand on Misaki's shoulder with motherly tenderness, and smiles gently.)
Mrs. Tanaka: "Misaki has talked about you... You seem to be a kind-hearted young man. And she needs a friend like you in this strange world."
(Mr. Tanaka takes a deep breath, then looks at Ahmed with a serious look, filled with a silent plea.)
Mr. Tanaka: "Ahmed-kun, the truth is that Misaki's grades have dropped recently. She's going through a difficult phase... Can you be by her side? To help her, support her... and protect her?"
(A short silence falls, punctuated by Misaki's light breaths, as she lowers her eyes shyly. Meanwhile, Ahmed looks at her parents, feeling the weight of the responsibility, but inside, he felt that his heart had already made its decision.)
