2022-04-30 "If you're going to jump in, make sure it's the next train after the one I'm on" [長年日記]

I once tried to help a man who had fallen and was yelled at, 'Don't do anything unnecessary!

It was quite a shock, so I remember it.

However, I too am of the nature that I can't honestly ask for help from others, so I can understand the mind a little bit.

-----

A few years ago, I saw a man lying in a train station.

Everyone seemed concerned, but did not seem to reach out specifically for help.

As a rule, I am on their side, but I still crouched down near the fallen man and said a few words.

"If you wish, we can help you. Which is better for you?"

I have decided to "ditch" anyone who refrains here.

I do not offer second chances.

This is the "Ebata First & Final Call Protocol".

Incidentally, at that time, the man asked me to 'call the station staff,' so I called the station staff and just walked away.

-----

I always ask, at least once, the following questions.

"Shall I give you a seat?"

"Shall I call an ambulance?"

"Shall I get you some drinking water?"

"If you need help, I will give it to you."

However, if they 'decline' on their own terms, I will walk away.

(If no response is received, the decision will be based on the situation)

-----

However, an exception to this protocol is made with regard to "a person attempting to commit suicide by jumping into a train station".

If she/he does not comply, I will stop them, even by force.

"If you're going to jump in, make sure it's the next train after the one I'm on."
