A quiet little girl stepped out.
Tears filled her eyes as she ran forward.
"Dad… Dad…!"
She hugged Maro's body tightly.Shock

"Is she his secret daughter?

Maro's brother, Namu, spoke through tears:
"Dad… please don't say things like that."
"I promised Maro I wouldn't tell anyone…"
The father shouted:
"Maro is already gone!"
"Everyone is confused—including me!"
"Forget your promise and tell me the truth!"

"Okay… I will tell you…"
He cried as he spoke.
"That child… was adopted by Maro from a children's home."
