That one person is a gem and we should appreciate them. They noticed you got talked over, and made sure to circle back, noticeably so the others don't do it again, to make sure you weren't silenced. It shows they not only noticed, but were bothered by it.

Treasure those people, and be those people.

Agreed, those people are the best. But also, that's a bit of a nightmare scenario, because now you have to decide if you're going to risk saying something from five minutes ago, or decline the kindness and feel bad for rejecting the gesture.
