Rolf Carle' finds himself doing more than just covering a story when he comes encountered with this little girl named Azucena. When he spends hours trying to save her to get her out of the mud (quicksand), they shared a special connection. They began to share stories with each other, Azucena told Rolf, "She was thirteen, and she never been outside her village". So he told her about his adventures. As hours past by, Rolf was not going to leave Azucena until she was ok and save with her family. Towards the end, "Dont cry. I dont hurt anymore. I'm fine," said Azucena. "I'm not crying for you," "I'm crying for myself. I hurt all over", Rolf smiled. This is when Rolf Carle' realized this little girl is just like him when he was a young boy. He developed attachment, emoitions and determination for her to get to safety. Time ran out, when Azucena did not make it all the way through, Carle' fell into a deep depression seemed like to try to figure out ways what went wrong and what he could have done differently that might would have saved her. In so little time they spent with each other, it looked like he already knew her because he saw so much of him in Azucena.
