subject A gets his ass kicked by a small group of people.
branch point 1 - subject A lives in fear, avoiding people and places. attempts to placate anyone to avoid conflict.
branch point 2 - subject A overcomes fear, betters himself through training, and is ready to defend himself. takes no more shit.
2 drastically different outcomes from the same traumatic determining factor.
