and the the look on her eyes her eyes were fear like are we going to run is it danger and she was looking to me to see how i was going to respond and when i and i and i saw that i was just like it broke my heart like that she knew that that she has obviously been exposed to that and then just you know like any other parent would just be like it it's okay and explained it and move on.

And that was the first moment where, and it was actually, they were there because of the terrorists and like, like there was a whole, like it was them trying to sort through what Joshua had reported.
