Isaac's parents returned to town for the opening of the innovation center. They thanked Zara, Kairos, and the others for exposing the truth about their son's death and honoring his legacy.
"We always knew Ike was special," his mother said, tears in her eyes. "He would be so proud of what you've all done."Zara graduated as valedictorian of her class. In her speech, she said:
"Isaac Domingo taught us that being smart isn't just about knowing facts and figures—it's about knowing what's right. Nora Santos taught us that pain can make us strong, but it can also make us cruel. We have to choose which path to take."
"My sister Lila taught us that it's never too late to change. Kairos taught us that the truth is always worth fighting for. And all of you have taught us that when we stand together, nothing can break us."
"The oni may still be out there, waiting in the shadows. But we're ready. Because we know that justice isn't about revenge—it's about making sure no one else has to suffer the way Isaac did."
