But I remember almost not feeling like I was allowed to actually feel what a normal person would have felt in those circumstances, because I felt like it was my job, my responsibility, my assignment, to place the koala, do this, do that, be this way. Do what you have to do in order to get this to come to an end, to catch this man, for this nightmare to end.”
