Let's talk hypotheticals.

You're crossing a suspension bridge. You have to reach the other side at any cost. The bridge is wide enough only for one person to pass at a time.

A man approaches from the other side with a gun. How do you cross?

They can't let you cross. They're being controlled by a third party and have been ordered to kill you if you try anything.

[ruffboi]

Oh. And why do I have to cross the bridge? I mean, if I don't, will anyone else get hurt?

[camouflage]

Something you cherish is on the other side. If you don't reach it, it'll disappear.

[ruffboi]

Yeah, okay, but I don't want to hurt anyone I care about? Especially not if they aren't in control.

Also I feel like getting some disappearing thing I cherish back from the magic bridge is second priority here to the guy who's controlling my friends and forcing them to attack me.

[camouflage]

I agree. Sometimes a fight on a bridge isn't just a fight on a bridge.

[ruffboi]

Well, yeah. Sure seems like this situation is more than just a fight on the bridge. I don't think you need some folk wisdom to puzzle that out.

I don't want to say it's simple because I know everyone has their own shit, everyone has things that matter to them more than anything else? But for me, I'm not hurting my friends, and I'm not letting anyone else hurt them, no matter why I have to cross the stupid bridge.
