It was no place for a kid. No warzone is. How did you know you weren't good at anything else? You never gave it a chance. Blinded by war. We were giving you a new life where you wouldn't have to risk your life everyday. You call living out in the jungle a home? What if you got sick? Who would tend to you? Since all the adults were dead. You would have died. All of you.
