“Drew is literally her shadow. I have so much respect for him, and nobody dare cross him. He may look nice, but his sole purpose is to make sure nobody unalive her, which is terrifying. It allows her to have a NORMAL life. Bro will take someone DOWN and OUT in the blink of an eye.” said the third commenter appreciating Drew’s efforts.
