“Being-with is an existential characteristic of Dasein even when factically
no Other is present-at-hand or perceived. Even Dasein’s Being-alone is
Being-with in the world. The Other can be missing only in and for a
Being-with. Being-alone is a deficient mode of Being-with; its very
possibility is proof of this.” (SuZ 120)
