"This is what the war has done to me. Now I want to destroy because of it. There is such hate and rage inside me now. The Angkar has taught me to hate so deeply that I now know I have the power to destroy and kill."

I find myself forgetting that this is from the pov of a 6 year old girl. No child should feel like this, or have to go through this.

"I jump and fall into the water, pulling Chou with me, who is still holding on tight to Ma's hand. When I resurface, they are all laughing at me. I am happy to have all of us laughing together again." This is already so sad 😓
