I was about to turn in all my work to the teacher.
So I was already starting to pack up my things slowly.
And she was like, it's like when you hear somebody, they're trying not to cry, but like they're really like holding it in.
And I could hear in her voice.
And that's when I started to get a little bit worried.
She told me that like your father got detained.
And it's just like, you just start envisioning the worst.
Like he's in this terrible place.
He is 47 years old, and he works at a construction company of his own.
Tell me about why he left Brazil.
There was a time when my father left Brazil.
Sorry, I'm just asking like these questions for my mom.
So my mom said it was due to the violence down there and like he couldn't make a living for himself, let alone have a family down there.
