Rounded down to one-word sentence when I said I was worried about him.

Then he asked me if I thought he needed help, and I... guess I answered wrong?

[cactusy]

Equating "is obviously having a hard time psychologically" with "is irreparably broken and useless", it sounds like.

He said Jedao told him he should leave for his own wellbeing.

[littletonoidea]

Well, maybe it might help. Aren't you supposed to take a step back from things that are upsetting you so you can get your head back on straight? You can't really do that here.

[cactusy]

Yeah. But. He's got people here. Home would be worse. A place filled with strangers would probably be worse, too.

[littletonoidea]

Yeah, good point.

...think Movie Trap-ing him would work?

[cactusy]

You're asking me for advice on dealing with someone's emotions?

-- It might.

[littletonoidea]

Hey, you're a woman of action. And you saw him close-up, I figure you've got a better read of whether he'll flip out or not if we stick him in a blanket burrito.

[cactusy]

Decently high chance of a non-negative reaction. Possible chance of a negative one. Minimal chance of an overtly positive one right now.

[littletonoidea]

...thoughts on if I go full King Kong and throw him over my shoulder to get him there.

[cactusy]

... Probably more likely to be negative?

Let's just steal a laptop from somebody and ambush him.

[littletonoidea]

I'm still bringing a blanket. That's not optional.

[cactusy]

Good. Tactile options are probably a good plan.
