Title: Love, Loss and the Road to Healing
Author: S.Reis

Regina, a Brazilian woman with dreams of living in Paris, endures a life marked by tragedy and heartbreak. After moving to Europe, she faces unimaginable grief when her soulmate, Steven, dies in a tragic accident just before they can begin their life together. Overwhelmed by sorrow, she leaves Paris and self-exiles to the Netherlands, cutting off contact with friends and family for several years.

As time passes, Regina finds strength in her daughter, Sophie, and a British Shorthair cat named Lucifer. With the love and companionship of her daughter and pet, Regina begins to piece her life back together. She moves to Tokyo, where she rebuilds a peaceful life in a new country, leaving her painful memories of Europe behind. Regina works as a private nurse and forms meaningful connections with new friends, including Hiroshi, who remains a close friend but with whom she chooses not to pursue romance.

Though she once believed she needed a partner to feel complete, Regina finds fulfillment in her simple, quiet life in Japan. She enjoys running in Hibiya Park, stops for matcha treats at Ginza, and occasionally meets colleagues in Roppongi, but always makes sure to spend quality time with Sophie and Lucifer. Regina's story becomes one of resilience, self-acceptance, and the realization that true happiness lies in the life she builds for herself.

Regina and her colleague Kenji eventually gain recognition for their hard work when their restaurant earns a Michelin star. In this well-deserved success, Regina finds peace, knowing that she has found everything she was searching for. Through her experiences, she embraces the power of healing and the beauty of living for herself and those she loves, free of the past's hold.
