[It's fine, she won't lose a hand or anything! She focuses for a moment to make sure she hits the button, and she presses it with the pen. Then the tv flips to life, so she'll take a step back to see what it shows.]

[A young girl dressed in clothing of a style that might be familiar, given how much Tuuri and Zel talk, is smiling widely as she runs through the streets of a very small town. She's heading towards the docks at the edge of town, full of all the energy you would expect from a 10-year-old. She comes up on two sets of adults and practically jumps into the canoe near one of the men.]
"Okay Dad, I'm ready! let's go!"
[The man there chuckles as he drops a bag into the canoe.]
"Wait for your brother, he's not here yet."
[A teenage boy, still young but clearly resembling a younger version of...well, both men, they're identical twins, but only one of them is his dad. Anyway, the teenager looks a little grumpy as he walks down the dock and climbs into the canoe. He sits next to his younger sister, who just goes 'ehe' as he sits down.
The dad sees the sullen look on the boy's face, and he lets out a small huff of a laugh.]
"Come on now, it's only a week of caring for sheep and then two weeks of quarantine. We'll be back before you know it."
[The girl chips up with a sing-song voice.]
"He's just scared of getting headbutted by a sheep again!"
[That gets the boy to grit his teeth.]
"I am not!"
"You shouldn't be teasing him too much, Tuuri." [the woman with braids in her hair gently chastises the girl as she climbs into the canoe, sitting more towards the front.] "You'll have to shear sheep soon too."
"Maybe, but I won't run away like a scardey-cat!"
[The girl's teasing gets the boy to give her a look, but she just giggles. Meanwhile, the man unties the canoe from the dock before climbing in himself. He waves to his twin and his sister-in-law, who wave back before climbing into their own canoe.]
"That's enough, Tuuri. Onni, think you can steer the canoe?"
[The boy goes to the back of the boat and picks up a small oar, which he uses to steer the boat while his dad rows while sitting backwards in the front.
The memory blurs here, becoming less distinct as it skips ahead a few weeks.]
---
[This is only the halfway point in the memory btw, I just wanted to point out that Tuuri absolutely recognizes what's happening, even before her name is said by her mother.]
But how... We didn't have cameras or anything back home.
