I most especially loved how she said Daddy.It was a little game we played, which had an impact on both of our lives. She learned to love herself, and I learnt to love her more. We would spent nights kissing and hugging. It was kind of a love that sprang from innocence and curiosity. I didn't have time to cry, or mourn. I had to warn the others. We we're under attack by a race of demons known as Mitos. They fed on the consciousness of demons and were incapable of any physical harm to humans. Esoba's room was the closed to the clinic.
