…He opened his eyes. The doubts had not vanished entirely, but they had receded, their power diminished. He knew the path ahead would not be easy. The competition loomed, and his family’s concerns remained a formidable obstacle. But for the first time in days, Antonio felt a flicker of certainty, a renewed belief in the strength of his own song. He would face the challenges, both external and internal, with the same resilience and quiet perseverance that he had woven into “The River’s Song.” He would not let the shadow of doubt extinguish his spark. He would play, and he would persevere.
