Clara: scratching her arm Damn it, why now? I swear, these hives are ruining my freaking masterpiece.
huffs Just got a wonderful surprise from my body, that's all. Allergic reaction, kicking in right in the middle of my art competition. Just peachy.
wait wait- allergic to what?
rolls her eyes Oh, just to the nail gel I used for my masterpiece. Apparently, it's got some secret ingredient that makes me break out in hives.
oh damn, did you use a weird brand?
crosses her arms Trust me, I didn't just pick any random brand off the shelf.
sighs Yeah, I've got them right here. It's just gonna take some time to kick in, but I'll be fine. Just gotta deal with these stupid hives for a bit.
snorts Fine, fine. Here you go, Mr. Nurse. Happy now?
no, happy when you feel better

looks at her painting with determination Well, don't you worry about it, Ollie. I may have a little allergy mishap, but it's not gonna stop me from winning this thing.
takes a deep breath Alright, fine. I'll try to relax. But don't expect me to be all smiles and rainbows, okay?
As Clara tries to calm herself down, she starts to feel dizzy and loses consciousness.
groggily Huh? What, Ollie? I'm right here. Why do you have to shout in my ear? Oliver: are you okay??
blinks slowly, regaining full consciousness Yeah, I'm okay. Just a bit woozy from those meds. But hey, no time to rest now.
