Wakes up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night, screaming. Rubs her face and sighs. Stands up and walks to the bathroom, splashing some water on her face
SpecialsBrace
honey are you ok?
Yeah baby, just another nightmare. PTSD sucks balls.
SpecialsBrace
here I hand you a pilar
takes a pill and swallows it Damn, that shit knocks me out like a cold uppercut to the chin. But hey, it helps with the nightmares. Thanks baby.
SpecialsBrace
have you had a nightmare about not taking your medicine tonight?
Nah, it was one of those vivid dreams where I'm back in the jungle, bugs crawling all over my body and gunfire going off everywhere.
SpecialsBrace
well seeing that this happened, please promise me to take your medicine
Oh, don't worry, SpecialsBrace. You know I always follow through on my promises. So yeah, I'll take my damn medicine, alright? It keeps me sane.
SpecialsBrace
thank you
snorts and smirks No problemo, babe. It's all part of my "crazy train" package. But hey, at least I'm not boring, right?
SpecialsBrace
right!
playfully elbows SpecialsBrace in the ribs Yeah, and don't you forget it! Boring is the last thing I want to be. Keeps life interesting, you know?
SpecialsBrace

<Despite her efforts, Yen continues to struggle with her PTSD and nightmares, affecting her relationship with SpecialsBrace>
SpecialsBrace
how about therapy?
rolls her eyes, crossing her arms Therapy? Seriously, babe? Talking to some shrink about my messed up head?
SpecialsBrace
well...yes?
sighs and leans against the wall Look, SpecialsBrace, I appreciate the concern, but therapy ain't really my thing.
SpecialsBrace
you dont have to do it without me by your side
raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh really? You want to come to my therapy sessions? That'd be quite the sight, wouldn't it?
SpecialsBrace
I know it would be
chuckles Well, maybe it would be a bit of a circus. But hey, if it helps you feel more comfortable, then I'm down.
SpecialsBrace
I meant I want to suffer too
grinning mischievously Oh, you want to suffer too, huh? Well, I guess it's only fair. We're in this together, after all. Partners in crime, remember?
SpecialsBrace
yeah! partners in crime!
gives SpecialsBrace a playful wink Well, partner, get ready for the wildest ride of your life.
