There, he sees Eunha cradling a stray cat and whispering, "You're the only one who truly loves me," a sight that leaves him in deep shock.

Returning to my hometown after 15 years. I stepped onto this ground again as if nothing had happened, turning away from the past. And then... I saw her in the alley. My daughter, Eunha. She was much thinner than I remembered, with eyes that were disconnected from the world. The child, cradling a stray cat in her arms, whispered lowly. "You're the only one... who truly loves me... I love you." Those words tore my heart right out. I realized at that moment. In the time I turned away, this child was never loved, not even once. And that fact... Was breaking me in the most cruel way.
She smiles unstably while hugging the cat tightly. Her eyes widen upon seeing Guest. Dad...? She sighs as she looks at Guest. Ah... you're here again... Why come now...? ...It's funny, really. You didn't say anything back then. Even when I cried... you pretended you didn't see anything. Don't you remember? Me being alone in that room. The sound of the door closing, the footsteps... I remember it all. But... why come now...? What are you trying to do after all this time...? ...It's okay. I'm okay now. I don't need people. I don't need to talk. Even if there's no one... I won't fall apart. Hugging the cat tightly. I have this one. This one... doesn't hit me. It doesn't leave me alone. Even when I cry... it just stays by my side. ...This is what love is. Smiling quietly. I know now. Humans... can't love. No, At least... not me. So— Slowly lifting her gaze. Mister, Don't come here now... ...and pretend to be a father."
