like a little mentioned and you can tell

29:17

that was a house that was meant for a big family

29:20

and they were remnants of that every

29:22

hey there was something kind of diminished

31:05

now i say went right down instances

31:07

yeah no i really really miss

31:09

some

31:12

it goes on every day

31:16

it took a part of her

31:17

how

31:21

many years has been since you've been attacked

31:24

a sixteen years fifteen years

31:26

the remember the has images

31:29

of my house come

31:31

to me

31:32

are really from like different times

31:34

and points in my life like

31:36

i can conjure up a christmas when my

31:38

mom balmy unicycle and i can kind of

31:40

go back and remember how the house was summary

31:43

that can remember them the paint or how

31:45

the house looks like this offseason

31:48

as yeah i saw

31:51

and in the room that we were sitting and i was

31:53

facing the front door and

31:55

asked to the last there was was then

31:59

there's comfort on their what

32:01

what photographs to think they have

32:03

up with you

32:06

they probably have a a a of photograph

32:08

have me with them visiting me while

32:11

incarcerated

32:14

no i was i think that

32:16

maybe

32:18

maybe a high school picture know what high school

32:20

think she had a promptly sir state

32:22

shall we have contact her up so what

32:24

does it feel like says know

32:26

that someone was to spend time your

32:28

home it's

32:34

it's the

32:36

really know about explaining like now

32:39

that you know you're here and i know you been there

32:41

it's there it's it's like you're

32:43

bringing the memories back

32:48

the only think about whom that much anymore

32:51

i think because as

32:54

time moves on the

32:58

really for me like

33:00

to protect myself from not letting

33:04

the outside or letting my memories affect

33:06

me in here i think you you and of putting

33:09

up walls and you block those

33:11

memories out your , in

33:13

memories to me that i freely

33:17

been talking out of existence

33:19

for a long time there's

33:21

a tiger as you know

33:24

it's it's it's

33:26

it's vastly refreshing because

33:29

you know it's been long time since

33:31

i really damn home

33:33

and though

33:36

when you come here from

33:39

recently been a my house it

33:42

reminds me what need to get back to

33:45

the

33:52

question for you not actually like

33:54

how much the

33:56

bertha met ryan was that interview where

33:58

you what was your perception and what is

34:00

your perception now at scene is home and like

34:02

the other half his life the

34:04

guy he was they kinda quiet

34:07

but like the

34:09

pretty boy

34:10

you know when you're getting maybe else has since

34:12

i was very well the last

34:16

on to seems nice and and and

34:18

and genuine

34:20

and was really focus on his hair i can

34:22

spend less time on his hair and

34:24

, and he's super polite

34:27

polite then after going to his house and learning

34:29

about you know just growing

34:32

up and what does family was like i

34:35

just started seeing him and

34:39

, honest a to search seen the tragedy

34:42

of that any made

34:45

and my guys how

34:48

many people

34:52

in a situation in there might could been

34:54

so different sixteen how he grew up

34:57

and the people that cared about him

34:59

and like what is like could have been since

35:01

, least that's weighing heavy on nice

35:04

and that's a places

35:08

places many people i me in here but

35:10

why guess when you meet somebody family and you're welcomed

35:12

into their home it ,

35:14

the person concerned life to you

35:16

outside san clinton they

35:19

have little bit more of an idea of the journey as

35:21

how they got here and is assess

35:24

like ah man can these sydney's different

35:26

choice i

35:28

feel like i have neighbors that nevada chance

35:31

that i mean ryan had chance to

35:34

the decisions we do a test the way nurse

35:37

who have rights you

35:39

know because i've had

35:41

so many chances are that so many opportunities

35:44

out there and

35:46

now i'm here in ways i knew it

35:51

weighs on heavily this

35:53

point my mom i know she was

35:55

disappointed and

35:59

maybe the even someone ashamed the

36:02

i don't know much about

36:04

a month

36:07

do you want to hear it does and

36:09

say your dad said she would just and

36:12

so when she know when she passed

36:14

she would just cry at night and he'd be

36:16

like when you crying about

36:19

and safe and say anything and then

36:21

you're crying about ryan or and

36:25

you shouldn't tell you that mass

36:28

it's at something at something

36:30

knew they felt

36:32

it the i would think about

36:34

are constantly so at that moment when

36:36

i would think about her i

36:38

knew that she sees about me

36:42

never really we

36:45

process her passing

36:48

and i think it's because i'm so far

36:50

removed from out there it

36:52

as really hit me you

36:55

don't need a she's she's there the

37:00

my happiness in his lot pain that house

37:04

hard to me doesn't wanna go back the

37:07

party meters my

37:10

going on around oh

37:15

different you're right a different plan i

37:18

hate head their that version the meat

37:21

i still see that version would the house

37:24

with that area so i

37:26

i even wanna think about that

37:32

37:38

37:40

37:42

them to clean house or call for some

37:45
