The way it connects and treasures relationships. It's important to sometimes hold onto the childlike spirit. The world would benefit from it.

There was nothing to argue about. Nothing to lectured about neither. All she wanted was to treasure his earnest feelings, desires, in wanting to always stay with her until the day they both have to return home.
