inarguably the keystone of the whole team. trying to summon the captain without heart is a real bad idea.

weaponized empathy is what, then? a flaw in the heart ring where specific conditions can "unperson" someone and cut off empathy? or is it a contagion where neurotic emotions are empathically spread?
-
weaponized empathy is mostly the security vulnerability that habitual empathy represents being exploited exploiting it in the person you're actually targeting is passe, these days we exploit it in bystanders and get their altruistic punishment impulse all hot and bothered
-
a different form of weaponized empathy involves just being very high empathy and *feeling* how other people feel but not *caring* so you can just use your insight to manipulate them better

I'd just call that sociopathy though
-
maybe, i'm not sure high-manipulation sociopaths (not all sociopaths are even good at social interaction) are usually so much high-empathy as having strong modeling capability built on other principles
