"Are you alright?" Ning asked the man.

"Yes, I'm fine," the man said, trying his best to appear like he wasn't crying just a moment before.

"Your daughter is watching you, you know?" Ning said.

Those words got the captain to freeze for a second. It was almost as though he had forgotten about that in his sadness.

"Is... is she still here?" he asked.

"Right beside you," Ning said. "She has her arm around your neck. She's hugging you."

"But... but how?" the man asked. "Isn't she supposed to go away once you tell me about her? I hear most Spirits leave after Spirit Detectives help them."

"They leave after their wish has been fulfilled," Ning said. "They all stay behind because there is something they regret not doing or something to need to make sure of. In your case, your daughter has watched you be sad during the final year of her life. After death, she stayed around so she could watch you stop being sad. Until the day you smile again, she won't leave."

"Is... is that so?" the man asked. "So... she wants me to smile?"

"She wants you to be happy again," Ning said. He wanted to leave at that, but there was something he believed he needed to tell the man. "There is something else you can do though."

"What?" the man asked.

"When you return to Whitebridge next, go to the Spirit Detective hall," Ning said. "There, you should be able to find a Spirit Channeler. Request her to channel your daughter. You should be able to talk to your daughter again."

"I... I can do that?" the man asked.

"Yes," Ning said. "It should be a simple task to channel her. However, do remember, once your daughter is channeled into someone else, she will leave this world permanently."

"If I can talk to my daughter then I will go—"

"You should not make a hasty decision. Think about it some more," Ning said. "Do you want to talk to your daughter one last time and hear what she has to say? Or do you want her to leave this world, satisfied that she got to see what had been keeping you here all this time?"

"Do what you think matters more here. Your happiness or your daughter's happiness. That's a choice you'll have to make."
