And what happens if, despite the fear, one does not disappear but simply stays?    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1435,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"class_list":["post-1372","events","type-events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/frankfurt-lab.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/1372","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/frankfurt-lab.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/frankfurt-lab.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/events"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/frankfurt-lab.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/frankfurt-lab.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1372"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
