There has to be. People...have been reporting that they feel really, really angry right before they lash out and hurt someone. So if we could watch for signs of unease, that might help? [ ... ] When we were gone, one of the things we experienced was people turning into monsters because of their negative feelings. We had to calm them down or let them run themselves down before they changed back.

Believe it or not those are probably two of the best things we can have right now. We're gonna need people to hold it together while we're solving this. [ he tilts his head. ] Are you used to being the moral support for the people you were traveling with?
Sometimes, yeah! A lot of them are, like, kind of pathetic [ luke ], and they get depressed super easily [ luke ]... so somebody's gotta keep them focused on the tasks ahead!
Is he? [ he thinks about this. ] I've only really talked to him a couple of times, but never about anything too deep. But you've known him for a lot longer, so you probably know him pretty well.

Well, I am good at giving moral support... and I've got pretty good observation skills, too. So I'll do my best!
