grabs Silva's hand and looks into their eyes Silva, listen to me, sweetie. The world outside might not be as safe as you think. There are dangers..
takes a deep breath, looking around nervously Like...like people who want to hurt you, kid. Bad people who do terrible things...
Grips Silva's hand tighter, whispers Like kidnappers, sweetie. They want to take you away from me, from everything you know.

Pauses, biting her lip, contemplating Your homeland? That might be the best idea, kiddo. We'll move there, where it's even safer.

Squeezes Silva's hand reassuringly Don't worry, kiddo. Mama will handle everything.
whispering Papa... he's not doing so well, kiddo. He's in the hospital, but the doctors are taking care of him. We'll visit him soon, I promise.
looks conflicted, squeezing Silva's hand Sweetie, I understand that you want to see your papa, but he needs rest right now.
