“ oh my god, this is so unreal. ”

it's bittersweet,   to hear the absolute disbelief of a little girl,   to see a world that's so bustling and busy that it won't even regard them with a thought or a simple look.   no survival here,   no fear.   cars and people moving on,   their own agendas.     (   he stands close by to her nonetheless.  he’s seen her fight or flight ------    either she’ll be gone,  or there’s going to be a pocket knife jutting out of a very upset passerby.   )     he’s glad she can see it.

❝     i was thinking the same thing.     ❞      tone holds a lilt of humor.   he thinks of the first thing he’d want her to see.  they’ve got plenty of time still to go try different foods or explore whatever strikes her eye.   he’s not going to let the bureau take her second chance at a childhood that was already taken ;    and still they fought,   they had their reservations and concerns and their formalized memorandums and board meetings.   she’s just a girl.   he had some time.     ❝     you like aquariums  ?    ❞
