Chapter 1240 The Rose Wedding Dress (3)

You were still playing Doraemon to entertain kids—not for the cash anymore, but to kill the long stretch of waiting, to make time less brutal. That night, bone-tired after work, you were still in the Doraemon costume. Like always, you slowly walked back to the building where it all began. The moment you took off the head, you saw her—veiled in a wedding dress—turning back, slow and gentle…”
• Chadwick Fullner was completely swept into the story and the wedding he was crafting for Kate Penrose. Worried Finn Wembley might miss the point or find it abrupt, Chadwick explained, “Having you dress up as Doraemon is the arc—showing you growing stronger, more grounded, becoming the man she needs and wants. Doraemon is her absolute favorite.”

It’s our youth, and then that long grind through ice and fire, separated by mountains and years, and finally making it back to each other. If it ends with her and looks like that, then all my waiting has been worth it. Even that rose wedding dress—when you described it, the image popped right into my head.”
