💖 Dedication: To My Daughter, the Light of the Glade
This story was born from a box, but it lives because of you. You are the shimmer in every crystal, the whisper in every leaf, the courage in every climb, and the warmth in every return.
I reimagined Ria in your image—curious, brave, and full of wonder. This tale is not just for you—it is of you. May you always find portals in the ordinary, and may your heart always hum with forgotten magic.
With love, Your father, Jairo Bonilla Quintero Mexeekahtlan
