Yeah, I would have to say that I agree that there's I always wanted to I always wondered where the adults were in the room. Like, you know, the whole first two years of my imprisonment, I was like, this is all a huge mistake. And it's really obviously a huge mistake. And when are when are like the mommies and daddies going to show up and say, OK, kids, stop your squabbling.
Like, let's straighten things out.

There are no mommies and daddies. That's the thing that freaked me out.

It's like we're all adults now and this is all we are. We're just a bunch of screaming toddlers just screaming at each other constantly. And here I am now. I feel in a way trying to mother my prosecutor through his, you know, psychological tantrums. Which is a weird position to be in. Because now that I've developed the relationship that I've developed with him, I like I care about him.

Like, I don't think that you can. I set out to understand him. I wanted to understand him. But in the process of like really understanding a human being and having them like be really open to you. I don't know. I feel like you inevitably begin to care about this person, even in their, you know, flawed fragility as a human being. And so on the one hand, I'm very angry at him to this day.

And on the other hand, I care about him and I have to give him. some props he didn't have to respond to me he didn't have to meet with me he didn't have to sit there and hear me talk about how he had up my life and he shouldn't have I did not like it's not that like me being kind to him does not mean me tolerating injustice. And it does not mean me not setting boundaries.

And it does not mean me sugarcoating what really happened. Like he knows what I think really happened. And he says, well. You know, we can disagree about our perspectives in some in some ways. But ultimately, what matters is that you reached out to me and saw me as a human being. And in response, I like I also inevitably came to see you as a human being and I care about you.

And so in a way, we're still in this awkward dance of one part of us is stuck in that adversarial system and one part of us is in a non-adversarial, very accepting of all the things space. And we're paradoxically existing in both of them at the same time. And I think that that's just kind of how life is.
