It was to call his father.

He told the psychologist that.

He said he had his father’s contact open on the screen for about two minutes and that the sentence he had prepared was, “Dad, I found something and I need you to tell me it’s not what I think.”

Because that is what a child does.

A child takes the frightening thing to a parent, and he had two parents, and one of them was the frightening thing, and at fourteen he had to work that out on his own on a concrete step at half past one in the morning.

He did not call him.
