After everything that Olivier had gone through, Olivier knew that kids could be savage and overwhelming when they wanted to be. So, when Olivier saw that everyone was heading toward him, he panicked a little.
But the children did not pick on his hints and they continued to crawl near his face.
"Can you all give me some space? I am feeling a little claustrophobic here. I need you all to step back a little."
Olivier finally called for the kids to take a step back. It was only after he said these words aloud that the kids understood he was seriously feeling uncomfortable.
The kids did not want to back down but they did not to respect Olivier's wishes. Olivier could see their reluctance in their eyes but it did not matter to him.
"So anyway, you did not answer us when we asked you the question. Why did you join this session late? Throw us a bone here."
