Historically at least, one of the significant jobs of a wingman has been to act as bait. With dogfighting, with cannon fire, fighters are most vulnerable when they're trying to sho…

Just write in the style where all your names are like 'folder1/folder2/folder3/folder1Folder2Folder3Thing.ts`. (to be clear, this is sarcasm, please don't do this!)
