Negative self-talk does not exist in this dojo

Part of the reason that Han, Luke and Leia work so well as the main trio is that they're all mistakenly under the impression that they're the sane one in a 'two idiots and the voice of reason' trio trope. Like "Somebody has to save our skins!" and someone has to stop Han and Leia from murdering eachother mid lovers spat, and someone has to keep the twins out of trouble involving force nonsense. And they're all equally as much trouble as eachother, but they all think they're the only sane person. And it's wonderful.

Safe and Johnny Lawrence were not words Daniel associated with each other. But Johnny was in as much trouble as he was, with Kreese being back. He could still be playing the other side, the voice in Daniel’s brain said, but somehow, Daniel knew that wasn’t right. Johnny’s grief had been real. Barnes and Silver had never been on that level. The place Johnny suggested didn’t have to be forever. Just for a little bit. Until Daniel could come up with a better plan. “Okay,” he said reluctantly. “Where to?”
