The night of the festival arrived. Lanterns illuminated the city, and the air buzzed with excitement. Jonah stepped onto a makeshift stage, clutching the time machine, now a symbol of hope. 

Johnny said: 

"These stories are a gift Hiroshi gave us. They are echoes of the past, lessons for our present, and guiding lights for our future."

As they shared tales of love, war, and the strength found in unity, the shadows began to fade. Slowly, people emerged from the cliffs, drawn by the music of their words. They listened, rapt, finding pieces of themselves within the stories told.

Eventually, the time machine pulsed once more, signaling it was time to return home. With heavy hearts but newfound courage, Johnny and his friends stepped back into its embrace. As the familiar blue light enveloped them, they felt Hiroshi’s spirit guide them, whispering encouragement through the air.
