"Even so, I'm not sure that you are the same as them, Uncle Zen. You have even given us a new life. Although we are only together for a short while, I know that you are different from them."
Zen looked up and looked surprised when he heard Melisa's follow-up remark. Zen told his true identity in a manner ready to receive any anger from Melisa and the others. But he didn't get any insults or blows as he expected. Zen could not even see the hatred in their eyes, and it made his nose sting while his eyes began to redden.
"That's why... don't talk as if you're giving us a last gift before your death. Come with us if you really care about us."
When Melisa was in her worst state, Zen took care of her, treated her, and helped her to return to normal. Melisa had secretly considered Zen as part of her family. After living together for some time, Melisa did not want to lose her family for the umpteenth time.
