You shouldn't be issuing a return before executing the second prepared statement. And as previously stated, you are not calling LAST_INSERT_ID correctly in your second query, but you don't need it anyway. You're code should look more like this.
Looks like you just forgot braces for LAST_INSERT_ID().
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
