[ He wishes he didn't have an answer for her. He wishes he could say 'I don't know'. ]

People might have hurt my parents, the ones who raised me. People would have treated me different, tried to hurt me or kill me just because of it. I would have had to either fight or hide, every day of my life.

This way, I only have to hide a part of me. Not the whole thing. At least, most of the time.
