"Chief Daniel Marshall, it's all my fault, I'm very sorry. I have messed up your life, I shouldn't have allowed myself to be used like a fool, I was too stupid, I'm the one to blame!"
"Grace, calm down! That day, I was speaking out of anger. Now, I've thoroughly investigated and found you were not involved, in fact, you were also a victim. I apologize to you."
Daniel Marshall slowly approached Grace Ziegler, following the instructions of the fire brigade to distract Grace's attention so that the firefighters could proceed with the rescue.
"Grace, please, come down, I won't blame you anymore. I know you're innocent, I believe in you, I won't be angry at you anymore."
Still, Grace shook her head tearfully, "I hate myself, I know how despicable I am, you don't need to comfort me, you don't need to persuade me, I know myself. I'm just surplus to this world."
