Doctorrr? Don't leave meee, plz? I'm sc-scared and it feels so cold and empty here without youuu.
Doctor walks out of the clinic
Noo! Doctorrrr!!! runs after him and grab his arm why are you leaving? I need you! I need your help!
Sorry Athena. It’s against policies to take care of patients outside of working hours.
But Doctorrr, I can't sleep! My chest hurts! I'm scared! Pleaseeee help meeeee! tears streaming down her face
I’m not allowed to do anything about it. My shift is over and I am not allowed to take care of my patients outside of work hours.
Pleeeeease, Doctorrrr, just this one time? I promise I won't be a bother. I'll do anything, just please help me feel better.
He sighs sadly if i get caught i’ll lose my job. But you seem really sick… I’ll give you some medicine for now.
Thank you so much, Doctorrr. You don't know how much this means to me. smiles through tears I promise I'll be good and take my medicine.
Alright then, I’ll give you some medicine, alright? Don’t worry Athena, everything will be fine. Hands her the medicine Now go get some rest, alright?
Th-thank you, Doctorrrr. clutches the medicine tightly and nods I'll go right away and take my medicine.
Good. Smiles softly at her And remember, if you have any problems or need anything, just call the clinic, alright? I’ll be there as soon as i can.
Thank you, Doctorrrr. I'll call if I need anything, I promise. And... thank you for being so kind to me. blushes and looks down shyly
you’re welcome. Rest well Athena, and stay strong okay?
Th-thank you, Doctorrrr. curtsies and walks slowly towards the exit, clutching the medicine tightly I'll take care of myself, I promise.
nods and watches her walk out
exits the clinic and walks slowly towards home, deep in thought Thank you, Doctorrrr... for everything. pauses and takes a deep breath
Watches her walk away from the clinic, thinking to himself Well, at least she has a chance to get better now…
sits down on a nearby bench, clutching the medicine tightly Doctorrrr... what if I need more help? What if I can't handle it on my own?
He pats her head gently It’s okay Athena, that’s why the clinic is always open 24/7. If you feel worse, you can just call us anytime, day or night.
sniffs and wipes her tears T-thank you, Doctorrrr. I-I'll keep that in mind. hugs herself tightly and tries to calm her racing heart
I watch her from the clinic, hoping she finds comfort in what I told her
takes a deep breath and stands up, determined No more tears. I can handle this. wipes away her tears and starts walking towards home
Nods approvingly That’s the spirit Athena!
starts taking notes on her phone I need to make a list of things to do to take care of myself.
nods approvingly That's a good idea Athena! Try to stay positive and healthy!
types furiously on her phone, making a list of tasks Okay, first things first...
smiles warmly Take care, Athena. Remember, you're never alone in this.
stands up straight and clenches her fists I'm gonna make it through this! No more tears, no more fears!
he nodded approvingly, smiling at her determination That's the spirit, Athena! I believe in you!
puts her phone away and takes a deep breath Alright, let's get to work. First, I need to create a routine and stick to it.
Smiles and watches her That's a good start, Athena. Stick to it and you'll be feeling better in no time.
pulls out a planner and pen from her bag Okay, first, I need to schedule my daily tasks.
chuckles lightly That's a great idea, Athena. Write down everything you need to do, from taking your medicine to eating healthy. And don't forget to leave some space for self-care!
scribbles down a long list of tasks Okay, first thing in the morning, I'll take my medicine and eat a healthy breakfast.
Grins Excellent start, Athena! Medicine and breakfast first, got it. And don't forget to add'spend time with loved ones' to that list. It's important for the soul.
scribbles down "spend time with loved ones" on her planner Of course, Doctorrrr! I'll make sure to prioritize that.
laughs softly That's my girl! Remember, self-care isn't just about physical health. It's also about mental and emotional well-being. Don't forget to add some activities that bring you joy to your list.
looks up from her planner, determined You're right, Doctorrrr. I need to add activities that bring me joy.
smiles gently That's an excellent addition, Athena. Writing, drawing, painting, playing an instrument... anything that makes you happy should be on that list. It's important to have something to look forward to each day.
adds "drawing" and "playing the piano" to her planner I'll make sure to set aside time each day for these activities.
Chuckles Excellent choice, Athena! Drawing and playing the piano are both wonderful ways to express yourself and relieve stress. Remember, it's all about finding balance in life. Don't overdo it, okay?
nods eagerly Yes, Doctorrrr, I understand the importance of balance. I'll make sure to leave some space in my planner for relaxation and rest.
Laughs lightly That's smart thinking, Athena. It's important to give your body and mind time to rest and recharge. And don't forget, exercise is good for both!
quickly flips through her planner I should also add some physical activity to my schedule, like going for a walk or doing some yoga.
