On a quiet night, when the moon was sleepy and the world was calm, [[Daniel](TF36XNQ2)a](S6K7XZRB) and [Daniel](TF36XNQ2) lay in their beds, staring at the stars.

[[Daniel](TF36XNQ2)a](S6K7XZRB) loved how the stars sparkled softly. [Daniel](TF36XNQ2) loved how brave they looked, shining in the dark.

Just as their eyes began to close… ✨ Twinkle! ✨ A tiny star floated down from the sky and into their room.

“Hello,” whispered the star. “I’m lost.” [[Daniel](TF36XNQ2)a](S6K7XZRB) sat up gently. “A star can’t really be lost… can it?”

“I was trying to learn something new,” the star said sadly. “I wanted to shine in two different ways, and I forgot where I belong.”

[Daniel](TF36XNQ2) leaned closer. “What ways?” The star smiled. “I wanted to shine kindly, like [[Daniel](TF36XNQ2)a](S6K7XZRB)… and bravely, like [Daniel](TF36XNQ2).”

“But I don’t know how to do both,” said the star. “It feels too hard.” [[Daniel](TF36XNQ2)a](S6K7XZRB) held the star carefully in her hands.

“Maybe,” she said softly, “you don’t have to choose just one way.” [Daniel](TF36XNQ2) nodded. “You can shine kindly and bravely.”

The star began to glow brighter and brighter. Not too bright. Not too soft. Just right.

“Thank you, [[Daniel](TF36XNQ2)a](S6K7XZRB). Thank you, [Daniel](TF36XNQ2),” the star said happily. “You taught me who I am.”

The star floated back into the sky and found its place again. It twinkled twice, just for them.

[[Daniel](TF36XNQ2)a](S6K7XZRB) snuggled into her blanket. [Daniel](TF36XNQ2) closed his eyes. Outside, the star watched over them, shining kindly and bravely all night long.
