The first time we saw someone helping someone else

November 2025 “Wait, I’ll show you.” Katarina said this almost spontaneously when she noticed that Peter was having trouble inserting an image into a document. A few weeks earlier, she herself had asked for help with the same task. Now she leaned toward him and calmly explained:…
