"Amber's Lesson About Life"

As soon as Justin finished his strange, rebirth-related question…

Amber gently snapped her fingers.

Amber:

"Come here." 😊

Justin, confused but obedient, walked toward her.

She lifted him effortlessly and sat him on the small table beside the bed.

Then she crouched down, tying his shoelaces with a calm expression.

Amber:

"Justin… if a person suddenly dies one day…" 😊

"And if they look back at their whole life as it flashes in front of their eyes…"

"Do you know what they'll see first?"

Justin blinked.

Justin:

"What?" 😅

Amber smiled softly—

a smile that carried experience, pain, and wisdom.

Amber:

"Childhood memories."

"No matter how difficult life becomes… the most beautiful memories always come from school." 😊

She slid the second shoe onto his foot and tied it neatly.

Amber:

"If someone is reborn… with all their old knowledge…"

"I'd tell them this—"

"Forget useless worries."

"Go make memories that are bright, unforgettable, and stupidly happy." 😊

She stood, lifted him from the table, and placed him gently on the floor.

Then she brushed off his shoulders and fixed his collar.

Amber:

"If I were by that person's side…"

"I'd be the happiest person alive."

"I'd get to see my parents again…"

"Make new memories with my family…"

"And maybe…"

She shrugged casually.

"…find myself a new crush." 😊

Justin's eyes widened.

Justin:

"Crush?" 😶

Amber nodded seriously—too seriously.

Amber:

"Yes. A crush." 😊

"I'd make sure that one person falls for me so hard they can't escape."

"I'd date only them…"

"Marry them…"

"Have five or six adorable kids…"

"Attend all their weddings…"

"And finally…"

She said in a dreamy tone:

"Die peacefully in that person's arms." 😊

Justin: 😶

Jonathan, standing at the door: 😶 ("Five to six WHAT?")

Amber clapped her hands once.

Amber:

"So many things to do in life!"

"And here you are—asking if you should go to school or not. Idiot champ." 😤

Justin didn't even react.

He was too stunned.

Jonathan didn't react.

He was even more stunned.

Amber placed her palm gently on Justin's cheek.

Her eyes softened.

Amber:

"Go to school." 😊

"Make strong friendships."

"Laugh until your stomach hurts."

"Do things that make you happy."

"If you truly live… you'll be the happiest person in the world."

Justin: 😶

Jonathan: 😶 (thinking how this terrifying woman became a motivational speaker)
