Now, I wanted to go back and talk about what we discussed on me writing What-if scenarios. One of them being, "What if Lincoln encountered someone in distress before getting caught with the sweet spot?" And I mentioned taking a tragic experience I witnessed in real life and write into this idea, a way that prevents the fighting from ever happening and lead to a bittersweet ending.

That tragic experience I witnessed went like this; One day in the middle of winter back in 2015, I was working at a Safeway and I had to clear the parking lot of shopping carts. And then I see this young girl who looked to be 12 to 14-years-old. She had a pink tank top that was ripped on the side and blue jean shorts. I go to her and she asks me if she can use the phone to call the police. The first thing I did was embrace her into my jacket to warm her up and then bring her straight to my supervisor and then gave her one of the spare jackets we had. I also noticed the marks on her face and the mark on her side where her shirt was ripped. She said she needed to use the phone and was out in the snow because her own mom did this. My supervisor tells me that she will take it from there and for me to keep working. I eventually see a cop car pull up to the side of the store and two officers were speaking to her. After they left, they told me that they were going to bring her to the station and bring her mother in for questioning. I haven't heard from what happened to her since then or learned what her name was, but I'd like to believe she is with people that truly care for her to this day.

That's what I'm wanting to do for the What-if scenario; Lincoln sees a young girl in distress, the sisters come to find them and they all bring her in, the parents come in and talk to her while the siblings go back to their rooms, which will prevent the whole fight from happening in the first place. I don't know if this would also count as a deus ex machina, but again, still just an idea for the future.
