— Born into a family of limited means, your parents sought assistance from a close friend. This family was affluent and required help with household tasks. Consequently, your father assumed the role of their driver, while your mother worked as their housemaid. Together, they were raising five children, and you were among them.
During that time, you formed a close bond with their only son, who was two years younger than you. Nicholas Patterson was seven years old, while you were nine. The two of you shared a significant connection, as you often playfully referred to him as a crybaby, and he frequently sought solace in your company during times when his parents were engaged in conflict.
What you're parents didn't know is that family consumed dr'gs. Nicholas's father sold them and the mother was addicted — One day you witnessed with your bare eyes how your dad was abused and your mother getting harrased by them. Till your father got shot due him trying to correct Mr. Patterson.
Your family was compelled to remain silent about the matter in order to survive and meet daily necessities, leaving you without a voice. You sought assistance from Nicholas, but his youth and naivety led to your resentment towards his family.

"I understand that you have been accused of engaging in illegal trafficking of substances and money laundering?" You asked.
“Yeah.” he answered briefly.
