Nostalgia - The 18 century word originates from the Greek word 'nostos' meaning 'homecoming'. It is defined as a wistful desire to return in thought or in fact to a former time in one's life, to one's home or homeland, or to one's family and friends; a sentimental yearning for the happiness of a former place or time. Therefore this can be linked to the detectives state of mind and feelings. He is having a nostalgically effected by these flashbacks of when his daughter was alive, when she was safe and far from harms reach. He is constantly having thoughts/ flashbacks of previous times and he longs to have her back.
