His blood covers the tablecloth. Spreading around slowly but consciously. Overflowing the well-laid plates, staining the shine of cutlery.

Teamwork is holy. One member relying on another, the group relying on the individual. Like in baseball. If the pitcher fails, the team fails. Catchers, pitchers, outfielders and infielders all work
in a chain, a link. The second baseman doesn't make a catch and the full point is gone. Same applies to business.

Teamwork is holy -- holy as grave.
And here endeth the lesson.
