Episode notes

I didn't even realize it was 26 when he was technically sentenced and that's kind of interesting all these like alignments but yeah. There's a lot of different little weird alignments that I've gone through similar traumas at the same time that my mom did. Or just similar kind of like yeah anyway grief and trauma never really does leave the body. So, there we go. That's very sweet because I never really thought about that. 26 is a special number honestly and because you were 22 when it happened. So that's we said this before but that's you're just still basically a child. You know technically adult but it's in still in that formative decade.
