Honest question, is Setrag alive? The whole article being written in the third person was distracting to me because I kept expecting it to result in his death, but from the context this might actually be something which happened very recently.
written in the past tense I mean*
I am very much alive! The past tense is a way of writing stories…Have a good day! ;)
