"And they say the exact same thing. They say, 'there's no way this is real...this can't be real', even though we're here and we're living it" 

- Finn

If you talked to other people, they’d say they made friends with the wrong person. That they did something they shouldn’t have. That, if given the chance, they should take it back, retrace their steps, and stop what they did.

But they wouldn’t say that.

We sit down with them - and a psychological anthropologist - to figure out why, and what it says about the human mind.
