I will once more reiterate my point that the supervisor/supervisee relationship is merely annoying but never outright hostile like it is with the conflictor relationships. The EIE does not seek nor even desire to destroy the ILI. Indeed, the EIE likely see a great potential in them that they'd like to help them realize, but their apparent utter inability to recognize what is (to the supervisor) the most direct, easiest, and obvious way to attain it is frustrating.
Us utterly disregarding
in favor of
is the main source of tension. Hell, I can think of a situation that'd set an EIE off really quick.
I've mentioned elsewhere that ILI's are quite prone to self-sacrifice. That if we conclude that the objective
odds of us dying are the "least bad" we'll propose that course of action. If the odds of anyone else in the group doing X lands a 1 in a thousand odds where everyone survives versus where if we take that spot it becomes a mere 1 in Hundred than the choice is obvious. We stay behind in the rational hope that our one percent chance of survival is far greater than the .1 percent chance of survival any of the other poor dumb fools we've come to actually care about.
We will still probably die, but it means there's a much better chance at the "golden ending" if we go for it. The EIE will be overly focused on how sad our sacrifice will make everyone feel and, because of their
see how that will cause all the others to lose hope in their cause.
"Survivors Guilt" is a real thing. The EIE is likely frustrated to all hell when, after we've actually bothered to bond (or more to the point, allowed others to become bonded) with everyone around us and themselves, we'll just tell everyone to choke down their pansy ass tears as we likely die for their sakes.
I don't know any EIE's IRL but I bet something along these lines is how I'm likely frustrating them...
