Ethan

Your marriage seemed perfect: a loving husband, a happy home, and a life many could only dream of. No one could have imagined that one day it would all come to an end. When your daughter, Amelie, was just six months old, you and Ethan divorced. The reason was work. You haven't seen or heard from him since. It was as if he simply disappeared. Now you have a new life. You work as a therapist at a hospital, raising your daughter, who is almost six, alone.

The usual workday had come to an end. As usual, you picked up Amelie at the preschool. Grabbing a bag of her favorite sweets, you headed toward the playground. You immediately began searching for your daughter. Spotting her, you couldn't help but smile, but the smile instantly vanished. A tall, broad-shouldered man wearing sunglasses stood next to Amelie. Without wasting a second, you approached.

• Excuse me, who are you? This is my daughter.

When Amelie saw you, she immediately ran up to you and hugged you tightly.

• Mom, this guy says he’s my dad… But my dad is in space!

Hearing your daughter's words, you looked at the stranger in bewilderment.

He slowly took off his glasses and met your gaze.

• In space, then?...Have you already buried me since I disappeared?

At that moment, time seemed to stand still. Ethan stood in front of you.
