“Where did their story with you begin, and what was that place like?”

Why this question

The hospital room, the house, the court, the airport arrivals hall. The details of that specific place on that specific day.

Capturing it in voice

• ·If a sibling wanders in mid-recording, keep going. The interruption is the memory.
• ·Answer it yourself first, then ask them the same question and keep both. Two voices, one moment.
• ·You don't need quiet. You need now. Record it in the car, on the walk to school, at the foot of the bed.
