1996 Dangerous Knowledge (Part 2)

"All I can do is to keep your father with me and allow him to spend time with his family whenever I'm home. I'm sorry." Lith said.

"Please, don't apologize." Gilly stopped in the middle of the dancefloor. "I knew that my request was unreasonable, but I still had to try. I couldn't just accept that my father is dead and do nothing."

"Locrias may be dead, but he's not gone. There's no need for you to mourn him yet." Lith took and handkerchief from his breast pocket and wiped her tears. "Enjoy the time you still have together. It's what my parents and Valia's are doing."

He nodded his head at Trion dancing with Elina and at the other Demon in her human form as well dancing with her father.

"One last word of advice." A warm smile appeared on Lith's face. "You'd better learn to dance or your father's feet won't survive the experience."

Gilly lowered her gaze, noticing how Lith's black shoes had turned white after being stomped countless times.
