Evacuating the Survivors
A Ghoul has a unique ability: after consuming the brain of a corpse, it can acquire the memories of the deceased and even mimic the original owner's voice.
However, such a gruesome detail was best kept from the little girl for the time being.

""Yes. Sir. How should I address you? What if my parents come back and can't find me?" The little girl, gripped by fear, held tightly onto John's hand, finally feeling a sense of relief.
John glanced at the table where Angela's homework lay.
