Quote by Orson Scott Card
Of course, he didn't know anything about these Indonesians, or why they would have been there at this moment to save his life, but the fact that they had guns and weren't firing them at him implied that for the moment, at least, they were his dearest friends.
Summary
This quote suggests that the speaker, despite not knowing the Indonesians or understanding their intentions, interprets their possession of guns and their decision not to harm him as a sign of friendship or allyship. The mention of them potentially saving his life implies that their actions have created a positive impression and established a temporary bond of trust and support. It highlights the significance of the moment in which strangers become potential saviors or protectors, based on their actions rather than personal knowledge or history.
