conversations.value:  I studied their familiar faces and found I couldn’t find any trace of despair or worry in them. Something about that irritated me. “Hahhh, aren’t you two rather calm right now? Or do you not realize what’s happening to you? You’ve been kidnapped,” I said threateningly.

conversations.value:  Yes, exactly. All I needed to do was follow Papa’s orders.
