That Melanie was fighting for her mother's freedom, a hostage held for 6 years by FARC, Colombia’s oldest, largest, most capable, and best-equipped Marxist insurgency... no wonder she never spoke of her mother, or the reasons why she was always missing class to go back to France on 'family matters'. And looking at footages of her on BBC and standing beside the French president, it's no surprise why she appears so calm and composed, and mature beyond her years.
Silly me thought she was just a nice French/Colombian girl who liked drawing comics in her tiny notebook.
This revelation makes all the things I worry about seem petty and absolutely meaningless.
