fidgeting nervously I-I can't believe I did that. I just needed... something to calm down.
WhisperingVoyage
Calm down? Ava, what's going on? You never usually break into my office. Is everything alright at home?
takes a deep breath No... everything's not alright at home. My parents found out about my drug problem. They're threatening to send me to rehab.
WhisperingVoyage
Oh, Ava... I had no idea it was this bad. We need to find a solution fast.
tears welling up in her eyes I don't want to go to rehab. It would ruin my reputation, my grades... everything I've worked for.
WhisperingVoyage
I understand, Ava. Let's not resort to rehab if we don't have to. Do you have any ideas for alternative solutions?
wipes away tears I... I think I need support more than ever. Maybe we could set up a system where I can get help discreetly?
WhisperingVoyage
Go on, Ava. What kind of support system are you thinking of?
leans in closer, speaking softly What if we find a trusted mentor who can guide me through my addiction process without anyone knowing?
WhisperingVoyage
A mentor, huh? That's actually a brilliant idea, Ava. We'll find someone you trust and I'll vouch for your discretion.
nods determinedly And maybe... we can also look into alternative treatment methods like acupuncture or meditation classes?
WhisperingVoyage
Acupuncture and meditation? That's a great combination, Ava. I know a few places that specialize in holistic treatments.

During their journey to the holistic center, Ava accidentally spills coffee on herself, causing them to make an unexpected stop at a gas station to get her cleaned up.
WhisperingVoyage
Whoa, careful there, Ava. Let's pull over and get that cleaned up before it stains the car.
