:24:08
l feel so helpless.
:24:11
What do you want to know?
:24:13
l'd be grateful for anything
you can tell me.

:24:20
Peter was the child
l'd always wanted.

:24:23
We were so happy.
:24:26
He had a wonderful childhood. Maybe
it was too sheltered, l don't know.

:24:32
He was a fearful child.
He was afraid of the dark.

:24:36
He always wanted the light
in the hall to be left on.

:24:40
He was afraid of all sorts of things:
dogs, horses, large birds.

:24:45
His siblings were much more robust.
He was more like me.

:24:51
l was also a sensitive child.
And somewhat sickly.

:24:56
l had asthma and would get
sudden allergy attacks.

:25:00
l remember he used to bite
his fingernails. lt looked awful.

:25:07
He was very close to his sister
who was three years younger.

:25:11
They'd play with dolls
and put on puppet shows.

:25:17
He was a quick learner at school.
He always got the highest grades.

:25:22
He was much more talented
than his siblings.

:25:30
When he was twenty,
he met a very nice girl.

:25:34
They got engaged and planned to get
married after finishing college.

:25:39
And then he met Katarina
and fell madly in love with her.

:25:45
Katarina had a lot of control
over him. She had the say.

:25:50
What Peter's parents
said or thought...

:25:55
wasn't important anymore.
