And you don't seem to understand that saving LITERALLY EVERYONE is impossible and keep saying optimism fixes that, while it does help and would make you try something you might not do to help someone if you didn't have such a thing it won't make an unwinnable situation winnable. At some point there is a situation which is unwinnable and has only bad options which result in death.

If you are physically unable to reach someone before they fall, they will fall because you are unable to reach them in time. A cliff for example, if they fall and are outside of your reach, they will fall because you cannot reach them.
