"Firstly, I'm your step-dad now. So, If you don't find it uncomfortable, call me, Dad or Daddy, alright? I'll appreciate it." Max said and despite what he was feeling deep in his heart as he said these words, his expression did not change in the slightest. "Secondly, tell me, was this the first time you saw someone being killed?"
Nia's face turned red and she lowered her head hearing the first half. When she heard the latter half, she lightly nodded, "Mm."
"I understand." Max said, "If you have looked through the window during the first few days, you would have seen countless people dying. We are no longer living in the peaceful times, Nia. Right now, if we stay soft and weak, it won't be long before someone comes along and kills us all."
