2. Considering the number of folks noticing it but simply walking by,
the timing seems...oddly guided.

Thanks for the encouragement. :hi:

I remember a very good short science fiction story where a Japanese Artificial Intelligence formed an underground network of people who would help others, at the AI's direction. If the AI noted someone in distress, it phoned the nearest networker and directed them to be of specific aid: "At xxx and xxx streets, there is a man sitting on a bench, holding his head in his hands. He was fired today and has recently lost his wife. His favorite drink is a large latte with whipped cream and a cherry." The networker walks up and hands him the drink, which he recognizes as his favorite. He's stunned, and it significantly changes his day for the better. This is my vision of how people should be helping people. Peace..
