A lot. ‘Cause I was leaving my home, I was leaving the home that I knew… It was a new place… And it was new people and I was leaving everyone that I knew and really loved, like you and Ishmael and Gabriel and… I was leaving you. And that really hurt.” - Eli This TOTM Face to Face conversation is between Mohandas and Eli. Mohandas is the Ever Forward Club’s Youth Host, whom you can get to know more about in episode 83.
