"You are one step away"

I’m not afraid 🔥 

Two kids visited me while I was painting and they loved this piece so I offered them to help me put some red paint for flame. They were excited but a little scared. 5 seconds later they took one step and overcame the fear. They filled the piece with courage. 

- Can I? 
- You can. 

30 mins later the boy ran up to me, grabbed my face, looked me in the eyes and asked 3 times: 
- Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?

…who am I?
