Count on me

Empathy and sympathy are often mistaken for one another. One being more commonly used for a person going through a rough time than the other. Sometimes life breaks a person down so much and so often that it feels impossible for anyone to understand. For someone who is familiar with the feeling of being broken and alone, empathy comes more naturally. The Loyalty they would feel is very deep and nearly unbreakable. Not many understand the idea behind being there for someone unconditionally outside of family. The same few have likely never had to completely break all alone without a single hand to reach out to. Count on me is the 3rd allegory in the sick like us collection featuring a personal experience used as a relating point. When someone goes through something like that alone, they wouldn't ever let anyone else do the same.
