[At first, the only thing that can be heard is the sobbing of a child. It's not the cries of a child who's simply been denied a new toy, not even one who's fallen and skinned their knee. It's the sound of a little girl that's been completely heartbroken.

And if he does not come, you may contact me. We will make sure he didn't get lost.
