There's a middle ground between doing nothing in order to save yourself and helping others to your own detriment, you know. It's hard to find sometimes... Can't say I've always been the best at it myself. [ his tone's a bit wry ] No one's asking you to stand by and let other people get hurt. Nobody likes seeing their friends get hurt, so it's normal when you try an' stop it. But the way you feel right now, how you regret not helping 'cause we got hurt? That's how most of 'em feel when you get hurt.
