Asymptotic

After his daughter died, John studied self-hypnosis. His family assumed he wanted to forget.

He wanted to believe.

Then he prayed sincerely to Abaangui for his daughter's life.

Then he prayed sincerely to Abassi for his daughter's life.

Then he prayed sincerely to Abellio for his daughter's life.

Then he prayed sincerely to Abzu for his daughter's life.

Sooner or later, he'd pray to the right one.

.finis.
