As Sam helps log settle back into their hospital bed, they ask if log wants to file a report against the person who hurt them.
loggerm
do we have to?
leans in closer, speaking softly Look, log, I understand if you don't want to deal with it right now. But filing a report can help ensure that person can't hurt anyone else. It's your choice, but either way, I'm here for you.
