You feel personally responsible for those who play a significant role in your life. This includes adventuring companions, employers, subordinates, allies, dependents, and those toward whom you have a Duty or a Sense of Duty. If anything bad happens to someone like this, you will be wracked by anxiety and guilt – even if there was nothing you could have done to avert the disaster.

If the mishap was not your fault, you will suffer the effects of Chronic Depression for (15 - Will) days, minimum one day. If the mishap was your fault, the effects of Chronic Depression will last (20 - Will) days, minimum two days, and you roll at SC-3.

Others may attempt to help you overcome your feelings of guilt by making applicable Influence rolls. The GM is free to modify their rolls, depending on how convincing they sounded. Roleplay it!  On a success, you come out of depression.  Each character can attempt once per day. Others may also spend Leverage on you to reduce the duration by one day for each point of Leverage applied, once per scene.
