"So... I brought the Flawless Flower back too."

The white flowers, with petals as if outlined by golden threads, layered upon each other, a few small blossoms opened in the flowerpot, swaying slightly in the wind.

The moon had also fallen, casting a pale halo on the petals, beautiful like a dream.

He saw her again, the person whose smile was bright and splendid.

She had never left, always there in his heart.

—I carried your soul through spring and summer, witnessed autumn and winter, the rising and falling tides, the change of the sun and the moon, until I finally returned to your side to spend this last second.

Right in this room.

The place where you have always been.

...

Six years later on the same day, Arnold Simmons passed away.

As per his will, his ashes were scattered into the same sea along with Hannah’s.

Hoping that when the waves surged, they could meet once again.

*

One year later, George River was released from prison.

In seven years’ time, the River Clan had already fallen into decline, leaving nothing but an empty shell desperately holding on.

Old Sir River had passed away five years prior.

The old man seemed to have come to peace with it, lamenting before he left, "In human affairs, contentment is the key to joy."

The once flourishing River and Simmons families had, after all, become a thing of the past.

People often lose themselves in power and money; staying true to oneself is the ultimate challenge in life.

On the seventh day after his release, George River bought a bouquet of flowers and went to the seaside to pay his respects.

That same day coincided with the re-release of "The Last Farewell."

This was the last movie left behind by Hannah.

At the film festival, it had swept twelve awards, including Best Actress and Best Actor.

Even today, the movie remains highly sought after, almost revered as a "masterpiece."

Like a fine wine, it gets better with each tasting.

...

Even after seven years, "The Last Farewell" was still sold out.

George River took some time to finally get a movie ticket.

On the screen, seeing that familiar face once more, George River slowly showed a smile, his eyes filled with sadness and nostalgia.

Turns out, time waits for no one.

Who could have thought that the encounter seven years ago would be his last time seeing Hannah.

The duration of the movie was 2 hours and 28 minutes.

The final credits song was rearranged and newly written by James Landon.

The several hundred words of lyrics were prepared specially for Hannah, each line imbued with remembrance of her.

This was a new work by James Landon, who had chosen to leave the industry, returning to create after a two-year hiatus.

All for Hannah.

...

On the first day of the film’s re-release, many people posted their chance encounters with certain celebrities online.

And among these celebrities, any one of them was a reputed senior figure in the entertainment industry, a representative of both talent and popularity.

Most importantly, without exception, they were all once close friends of Hannah.

Among the photos, the most conspicuous were those of Hayes Edwards, Lucy Taylor, and John Lynch.

As a former idol talent show standout and the flowery face of early popularity, Hayes Edwards switched to the variety show circle after co-starring in a film with Hannah.

In recent years, he made a return to the film and television industry.

His first work after many years finally dispelled his past stigma of ’awkward acting,’ and he had become a representative of acting prowess.

Then there was Lucy Taylor, now a mentor to idol trainers, who had also established her own trainee company.

She continued to pursue her dream of the stage.

As for John Lynch, he had long secured his throne as an acting emperor, with his most recent film winning an award abroad last year.
