Daniel's chest was pounding as the figure got closer to him. He couldn't remember where he had seen the face before, but it was so familiar. He gazed eagerly, expecting a sign that would refresh his memory.

The individual at last halted before him and talked in a delicate voice, "Hi, Daniel. I'm happy I could help you."

The voice set off something in Daniel's memory. He suddenly recognized the individual as an old college friend. They had lost touch throughout the long term, and Daniel had never expected to consider him here to be his contributor.

Overpowered with feelings, Daniel embraced his companion, saying thanks to him in all sincerity. He was overwhelmed with a profound sense of gratitude that he could not express.
