âThat Little girl belongs to Paul and Cathy.
You still remember Paul, right? Cecilia, that child is currently in primary school, and she lives in Czanch.

Mark couldnât bring himself to send Paulâs daughter away from her hometown, all because of his gratitude and guilt.
Once he was done explaining, Cecilia shivered slightly as she thought about something.

âThat kid just wanted to see the rocket launch.
After this, she and I will never see each other again.
