my hood wont open question (civic)

yeah so the little cable the opens your hood when you pull the lever got disconnected, it looks similar to a bicycle brake cable(if that helps at all)

anyway does anyone know how to go about solving this?
im certain that there is a way to fix this without sawing my hood apart because i remember someone else having the same problem without having to do that so yeah


any pointers?
advice?
any help is appreciated
i live in antioch and i will buy anyone who helps me (if anyone is willing to lend me a hand) with this dinner/lunch/breakfast depending on the time...

p.s.
assholes, please stay out of this
