"I - hm - it's a little difficult to articulate, but it goes something like: this is a problem, and it's been brought to my attention so it's now my problem, and it will now proceed to be fixed because I will accept no less," he says. "Thinking of the person as 'mine' would involve a - level of commitment that I'm not sure is appropriate to the task. I could heal someone who was my friend or my teammate your way, but for a more 'that person over there' sort of situation I'm better off relying on the bottomless depths of my hubristic and meddlesome nature if I possibly can. Thinking of a person as mine is a long-term assumption of responsibility, the way my mind works; thinking of a problem as mine just requires noticing it and giving in to my instinctive response."
