Brightbill becomes central to Roz's transformation, helping her discover kindness and love as their mother-son relationship evolves.

Their evolving connection not only brings warmth to the story but also emphasizes the power of empathy and understanding in overcoming challenges. And that love and kindness that Roz learns eventually helps them both succeed. Throughout the film, we see him growing more confident and learning to love the things that make him different.”
