This is the story. It can’t hurt you anymore.
It’s still important that you listen, because I am going to tell you things you need to know, and it will be easier for you to understand what’s happening if you pay attention to me now. But if you get scared, or if you wonder why I’m making you listen to this, just remember that this is a story. There was a time when it could hurt you, but that time is over and done. You’re safe. I’ll protect you, I promise. I really, really do.
This is a story. You need to know how it starts.
It can’t hurt you anymore.
