It’s super illegal to make this stuff now.” “That seems logical,” Charles quipped. Charles was busy dressing Alexander's wound. I had almost forgotten he was there with us. And in this moment, I was truly grateful to him. He addressed Alexander’s need immediately and without hesitation. We certainly had our issues to work out, but Charles took the initiative to help Alexander and Ash when they were hurt, and I was hopeful that this meant he would take responsibility for his act
