Mr. Ballin

For so long, his two-year-old son, named James, has been talking about how in his dream he's been shot down by the Japanese military during the Battle of Iwo Jima, and now he's being told there was a single pilot shot down in real life during the Battle of Iwo Jima, and his name was James?

Like, how is that possible?

That just seems impossible.

And so at this point, Bruce is really holding on to the fact that his son had said his plane that he was shot down in was a course airplane.

And this guy, James Houston Jr., who was shot down, the plane he was shot down in was not a course airplane.

And so Bruce is telling himself like, okay, this is just a crazy coincidence.

Like this didn't somehow happen to my son.

He's not like channeling somebody else who died years ago.

Like that can't be what's happening here.

This is just a wild set of circumstances.

That's all this is.

But he's freaked out now.

And so he calls his wife and he tells her about what he's learned.

And he kind of downplays how much this has really unsettled him.

But he ultimately tells his wife and the two of them decide, okay, you know what?

Let's just do a little bit more research and just figure out what's going on here.

Like, this is just so crazy.

We got to do a little bit more research.

And in doing research about James Houston Jr., they discover that James has a sister who is still alive.

And so they decide to contact her.
