Around a week prior to the event, Brill even sat for an interview with 5 Points Blue, talking about the importance of literacy. Further, she also focused on the fact that education is not just meant for children but adults as well. She said,
No matter what your political persuasion, everyone agrees that all of us should be able to read and it’s something that we should be teaching in our schools, we do teach in our schools, but we need to make sure that we’re allowing children to know how to read and then have that tool to enjoy it

Eventually, after a long time, Brill finally asked him the reason she left the lab earlier to which he said that he had baseball practice. She said,
We would have a lab once a week and the lab was on Thursdays from one until four and so I, of course, noticed him early on. I realized he left the first lab early, and the next week he left lab early, and then the next week… so I thought, what is going on?
