It's not, but I don't want to forget that this is hard for you too. We're relying on you a lot... it would be a little unfair if we didn't acknowledge your struggles and try to help. They're just as real as ours are.
I think...obviously, our situations are different. This is our home, while for you guys it's someplace you're not sure you want to be. But even so, I tend not to like to think of people as groups. There's no you and we right now, there's just Jiuqing and Shale. You won't feel the same about it as the rest of the newcomers do, and I probably don't feel exactly the same as Riff, Bass, or Steel.

...that's a really good way of looking at things, Shale. Thank you for sharing your perspective with me. It's been really helpful.

You're an easy one to talk to.
