Between Holberger and Veres there exists a kind of technical understanding that outruns the powers of speech. Most Hardy Boys share this specialist's ESP to some degree. It's a feeling that some good chess players say they share with worthy opponents, a kind of mind reading-what Holberger calls being in sync.

Holberger and Veres share an intuitive connection that transcends verbal communication, suggesting a deep technical understanding. This bond resembles the mental synchronization some chess players experience with their opponents, often described as an almost telepathic ability to anticipate each other's moves.

This special rapport among individuals, highlighted by Holberger’s term "being in sync," signifies a unique form of empathy or cognitive resonance among technicians, where their shared expertise enables them to operate seamlessly together, akin to a silent conversation guided by mutual insight.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
