It started the new term like a couple of months later?

Okay.

It's pretty sudden, isn't it?

Yeah.

You talk about being a national trauma.

The Norwegian prime minister came out at the time and said, we need more democracy, more openness and more love, which is quite a response.

Klaas Olsson.

So as you say, once the trial started, Anders Breivik's trial, you were back and forth between Liverpool and Oslo.

To give evidence, but also to hear Breivik make his statement.

Again, is this the same impulse as getting your desire to read the manifesto straight after you want to hear it?

A loser in handcuffs, I think you called him.

How were you feeling going into court that day?

When you say on the bench next to you, do you mean literally next to you?

He got the maximum sentence, 21 years.

Some people were calling for him to have the death penalty, for the death penalty to be reintroduced in Norway.

What did you want?

You said it's important to you that Norway shouldn't change in the way that Breivik wanted it to change.

But it also feels like it was very important to you that he should not change fundamentally who you are as a result of what he did to you.

It sounds like it's very you to want to understand and to want to get to the bottom of things and to make things better.

So this is what you do when the trial is over.
