 for every "I was there. I helped make it happen" we need at least a couple "I
 was there. I saw the whole thing go down"s because like, nobody's gonna
 believe a belligerent, even if they're on the defensive.

 @user-95 one of the most empathetic people I ever met on VR chat was consoling
 me with their mic off while I was oversharing about some stupid things people
 did to me in the past. things that stupid me thought were okay and actively
 encouraged because I was stupid. anyway when their mic was off their body
 language spoke for them. I'll try that next time.

 when people are alone, they fall alone, with nobody to bolster them up.
 
 a fallen ally is a blow to morale. shaken morale makes you unsteady - broken
 morale is the enemy's win condition.
 
 help your allies. bolster them up. find those whose cause you share enemies
 with. we're going to get through it together, or not at all.
 
 though I do know we will get through it.
