"Why are you smiling?"
In the crowd, Yi Dong turned his head to look at the Lizardman girl beside him and asked with surprise and uncertainty, "He was your father, wasn't he?"
Just twelve years old, Tatiana Frith nodded and solemnly replied, "Yes, Mr. Rin Winter."
The Zombie, clad in a sky-blue robe, felt a bit confused and took a moment before lowering his voice to ask, "Does your dad treat you badly?"
"No."
The little Lizardman shook her head vigorously, her voice clear and sweet: "Father is very good to me, even though he's often not at home, but whenever he has time, he'll come back to be with me, and he'll bring me a lot of beautiful gifts."
Yi Dong continued to be baffled and using his imagination, he asked, "Could it be because he was mean to your mom or something that made you hate him?"
"I don't hate Daddy, I really like Daddy."
Tatiana blinked her eyes and chirped, "I've been living with Daddy since I was little; I don't even know who my mom is."
