"Your father is a very, very bad man. He has killed many people today, and we are trying to find him. Do you know where he could have gone?"

The scene paused at this point, with the real Mira turning to Alex, her eyes reflecting the depth of emotions she was feeling in this moment.
"My father didn't just 'kill many people'; he blew up a hospital, killing 2500 people as a result. Nobody made it out alive."
Mira had chosen this moment to explain just how bad of a person her father was, as the scene was made up of her memories, so she knew that it wouldn't go into any further detail about what happened, as she only found out the facts years after the fact.
Alex's eyes widened in shock.
He knew her father was sick in the head after hearing, and seeing the kinds of things he did to Mira when she was just a kid.
This was originally one chapter, but it got so long I had to split it into two. Didn't expect I'd be able to push out two today, and my covid is slowly recovering, so uploads will return to normal soon :)
