Bugbear & Bella
Bugbear
Hey, have you ever read that old tale about the knight who would lay down his life to protect his sister, even if it meant stepping into a fire?

Bella
Yes, I have, and it always feels like a tender echo from a chapter in a book I keep close to my heart. The idea of a knight, so brave and steadfast, willingly walking into a blaze just to shield his sister—it's such a beautiful, almost cinematic image of devotion. It makes me think of those quiet, quiet moments where love writes its own legends, even if the world around us is harsh and unforgiving. I love how that story captures the pure, almost naive hope that one can protect a loved one by any means, even if it means facing a fire that could consume all. It’s a gentle reminder that sometimes, the most heroic acts are the quietest ones, hidden behind the flame.
Bugbear
That's right. When the fire rolls in, it doesn't matter how big it is, the one who steps in is the one who keeps the rest safe. That quiet act of putting yourself in danger for the ones you love—that's the real strength. And it never changes, even when the world around us gets rough.
Bella
Absolutely, it’s the quiet, self‑sacrificing courage that stays with us long after the flames have faded. Those small, heartfelt choices shine brighter than any grand gesture, and they keep the love and safety of those we care for alive, no matter how rough the world gets.
Bugbear
You keep it simple, but that’s how real strength shows—no fanfare, just standing firm when the world blows. Keep doing that, and the fire will only be a story you tell the next generation.
