trope i don’t see enough: the more experienced character having to guide the less experienced character through something very difficult and important. maybe they’re behind glass or bars or on the phone. maybe they have to do surgery or stitches or defuse a bomb or repair some machinery. ..

it’s about suddenly being thrust into something you’re absolutely not prepared for and still doing your best anyway. and also about having to watch as their hands tremble and they’re struggling to piece together your instructions. if they make a single wrong move it’s over. do you get it?
