So I felt just a little bit extra of a duty as a result of I felt him on my shoulder, and I felt him guiding me. I went to the Imperial Conflict Museum and located my character’s diaries, and positive sufficient, he had an entry the place he met my grandfather for lunch. In order that was sort of cool. And yeah, it was the primary time I’ve ever had a task the place it was private like that for me.
