Shabbat 33b:6–8 tells of Rabbi Shimon bar Yohai, who hid in a cave with his son while being pursued, then looked down on people working after his return. After returning to the cave and learning again, his outlook softened when he heard why an older man had prepared two bundles of myrtle for Shabbat. The source's miracles and destruction are not adapted as examples permitting harm to others. This is a fictional modern return to a community room after prolonged research. Jin, Ara, the colleague, research, mats, room preparations and all dialogue are fictional.
