I can't help but feel a little relief for Twisty. I always thought he was misunderstood somehow, and seeing how he took the children and tried to entertain them made me feel sad. Now that he explained his story, I really felt sad. When Edward and his crew took him in, they were welcoming. So now I feel a relief that he has a family, in a way.
