What's the Deal With Nodji?

Naji is 19 years old now, but when jake first met him he was just a kid. When naji's parents told these really violent stories of the war they had fled in syria, they the other kids out of the room, but not nodji. They weren't concerned about sheltering nodji from this story. And his mamma dad seemed to treat him like like he's one of the adults. One day the security forces come pound on the door, ask for his father by name and say, we need to take you in for questioning. All what i cared about is, you know, oh, i'm going to go outside wit my friends play.
