"Sir, would you mind sharing the story with us in more detail?" Vivienne inquired.
The old man nodded, "Of course. That year left a deep impression on us. Elliot was the beacon of hope for our entire family. Even our distant relatives had high hopes for him. After all, for a low-income family like ours, having a kid in high school was already a big deal.
Elliot's grades, though, were average at best. He was not exactly a standout student and didn't have many friends. He was a bit of a loner.
But ever since the kidnapping, it was as if he had become a different person. He was much more outgoing. Even got scolded by me for dating a girl from school. Truth be told, I thought the boy who came back was a lot better off. A young man shouldn't be so withdrawn."

The father continued, "Elliot didn't let us down, though. He got into Elite University, and after graduating, he went abroad for further studies."
At the mention of going abroad, the silent mother let out a stifled sob, tears streaming down her face.
Vivienne silently passed her a tissue, "Did something happen?"
The man sighed, his expression growing somber. "We were originally against the idea of him going abroad, but Elliot was determined. He worked his way through, not needing a dime from us. Reluctantly, his mother and I agreed. But once he left, he never returned."
