Zain was so touched by the tragedy that befell Sebastian. She felt so sympathize towards him. She had lost a parent before, and she knew how painful it was to experience such at a tender age. But what he had experienced, she never had. She wondered how painful it was for Sebastian and his sister, to loose not only a parent, but both parents at once, at a tender age. It would have been really really painful, she thought.
"I'm so sorry about your parents," she said to him.
"It has been so long, but I still have a feeling that they're alive, and I'm gonna save them," said Sebastian.
Zain could see the confidence in his voice. He actually meant what he said, but it sounded so impossible to her.
"I'm sorry, according to their possible ages, I don't think your parents should still be alive under that kind of harsh condition," said Zain.
"What do you mean?" asked Sebastian.
"How old were they when they came here?" asked Zain.
