Prompt: I hear the opera company is doing what they can to lift people's spirits in these dark times.	Say you want to help somehow.
Question: Ask about any personal news. Prompt: Not great. Life has been one battle after another, and it’s all rather depressing to think about.	Act dependable.

Question: Ask about their worries. Prompt: I have a great number of troubles, sadly. For example, fighting on the front lines means I can only pack so many outfits.	Laugh.
