Summary
The Bystander Effect dictates that the more people that are present to an emergency situation, the less likely it is that anyone will step up and do something unprompted.
Bravery is for story book heroes, in your opinion. Fantastic tales of daring do have never been your cup of tea. You're not brave, after all -- anxiety has made terror flow under your skin with as much familiarity and regularity as your heartbeat. You much prefer to stay in your own lane, keep to yourself, and try not to trouble anyone unnecessarily with your problems. If the world needs a hero, you're pretty sure it won't ever be you.
But then again, sometimes the world has other ideas. After all, how can you remain a bystander when you think a kid is about to do something terribly sad and stupid?
You never imagined you'd find answers to questions you had never let yourself ask.
What makes a person Brave, anyway?

Summary
A series of short ficlets and intra-related scenes that definitely are happening in the Bystander Effect universe, but due to close perspective writing and dedication to thematic writing style, will likely not be appearing in The Bystander Effect properly.

Summary
Trust takes time.
Forgiveness takes longer.---
There are some wounds that run deeper than can be healed, and there are some conversations that can be dangerous to have, but both of them have a door at their backs and a lot of mutually achieved wounds. And if you can't talk about hell with someone who kept you there, then who can you talk about it with?
