That said, even if they were aware, I couldn’t fault them too much for being a bit hostile. If someone broke into your house and smashed up your china cabinet full of irreplaceable heirlooms from your dead grandma, and you knew they weren’t sorry, even if you found out they were an orphaned cancer patient, you’d still be peeved.
