At dusk, Zuko and Lina strolled hand in hand along the beach, immersed in the golden afterglow of the sunset. Seagulls soared above, and a gentle breeze swept through, creating a humid yet cool atmosphere.

Their footsteps left two rows of imprints on the sandy beach.

Zuko occasionally turned his head with a smile on his face. It reminded him of the times when he held Pammy’s hand as they played on the beach during their youth. Pammy’s footprints were unsteady back then, as she had just learned to walk.

“I often came to this beach when you were missing,” he said, his voice deep with a hint of melancholy. “They said you died in the sea accident, but I didn’t believe it. I thought… you turned into a mermaid princess.”

Lina was taken aback, turning to look at him. Although he smiled, a trace of sadness lingered in his eyes. Every time he embraced her, he held on tightly as if afraid she would slip away again.

“They said Uncle Nicholas wants you to join the film studio project?” Zuko asked.

A smile graced his face as they stood still, and Lina’s head rested on his chest.

“Yes.” She nodded, looking up at him. “I think it’s a great opportunity for me to apply what I’ve learned.”
