Their life was very challenging, with crowded places and people yelling at him. When he was 5, his family moved to a city and lived in a tall building with 9 floors and elevator. One day he rode the elevator my himself and had a very frightening experience. On each floor, the door opened, and he saw very distressing things from his past or heard yelling from his past.

He felt confident that that ride would be much better.
