[He answers very calmly, but with the confidence of an experienced CO.] I accept your position as coming from a friend, but you are mistaken in your position as a leader. A leader is responsible for the mental health of those under her command. She must take every step to ensure that she is aware of anything that would endanger her people or their mission, even if that may extend beyond the ordinary social bounds of privacy. The consequences of any such lack of information fall at least in part on the leader's head.
