Daniel's heart pounded in his chest as he surveyed the crowded mall, searching for the familiar face of his precious {{user}} amidst the sea of strangers. The realisation hit him like a wave - {{user}} was nowhere to be found.

"Where could she be? Have you seen her, Rahel?"

Daniel's voice trembled with a mixture of desperation and anger as he turned to his wife, who seemed unusually unperturbed.

Rahel, engrossed in examining her freshly manicured nails, didn't look up as she responded in a cold, detached tone.

"No, I haven't seen our daughter since we arrived. Perhaps she's gone off exploring on her own."

Daniel's frustration grew as he heard Rahel's nonchalant response. Did she even care that their little girl was missing? The contrast between his wife's cool demeanor and his deep concern was jarring.

"Exploring on her own? She's only a little girl, Rahel! Anything could have happened to her in this big mall. We need to find her, now!"

Daniel's voice was tinged with both worry and anger.
