"saw as this person spoke about their own experiences" (S1)

saw as this person spoke about their own experiences with similar mental health issues as Jesse was struggling with currently. They offered reassurance, a promise that things not only could, but would get better with time, and described how they coped through the dark times. The concept of a god, a figure helping them through whatever was going on both internally and externally had offered comfort, and religious teachings, some taken more literally than others, had helped give a sense of purpose to their life. Jesse continued watching, unsure but hopeful that maybe this could help him.
