The poor man has his SO kidnapped and here you are, complaining about how he process and deals with the grief and trauma it brings him not knowing if this would be the last time they know anything about their whereabouts while doing the unthinkable to get her back.

This doesn't help the cause for mental health at all. This is not helpful at all. This is an average (albeit resourceful) working class man and you are taking cheap shots at him

It's one thing to process your grief by burying yourself in your work and relying on your family to support you, but its another thing to go on a shroom-fueled psychedelic jaunt whilst assaulting public servants and their lizard pets.

Maybe we shouldn't be enabling this, especially since his impressionable younger brother is currently under trial for murdering a CEO.

Those are prescription and standard issue. Their dimension's medicine is very different.

Now, the Mushroom kingdom (Ie: treated by foreign hostile powers as the Mushroom principality) is in the middle of an attack against their citizens and sovereignty by a hostile external power using terrorists and magic against their citizens.

Said terrorists transform the subjects of the kingdom into literal objects, striping them off any free will while occupying grounds with military forces and securing every logistic asset they can to make the citizens submit.

The Mushroom kingdom Princess, her Toadsworth advisor and nearby kingdoms have deputized and equiped Mario to be their protector. In essence, Mario is acting in legal grounds as their Deputized legal officer to be a judge, jury and executioner using all the standard issue equipment at hand.

Thereof the only assault of public servants is the one committed against the citizens of the kingdoms, Mario and the princess by the hostile attackers.

So, now the griefing man, an average worker, has a daunting task ahead, on top of all.

And here you are taking cheap shots at him.

For shame .

Pure apologist trite. That "hostile external power using terrorists and magic" is the standard rhetoric you hear broadcast from every castle. Toadstools and Goombas coexisted in the Kingdom for aeons, and it was only the Red Queen's bloody reign of divide-and-conquer that set neighbour upon neighbour and amped up the tensions between these two groups. Just because she calls herself a Peach now and rebranded the area as The Mushroom Kingdom, doesn't wipe away the blood of all those she displaced.

Your friends need you.

They always need you.

They never stop.

They are rage, brutal, without mercy.

But you. You will be worse.

Rip and tear, until it is done.

Sometimes smashing turts is how you deal with loss.
