My head hurts so bad.
sits down next to Pearson, concerned Oh no, what happened? You look like you've had a rough day. Do you need anything? Like, should I get you some water or painkillers? Or maybe we could do some light stretches to help you relax?
Pearson
Light stretches sound great.

Pearson
That feels better.

Pearson
Cool. What kind of essential oil is that?
smiling This one is a special blend of lavender and peppermint - my secret stress-relief potion! Just give it a sniff and let the calming goodness wash over you.
Pearson

As Pearson inhales the soothing scent of the essential oil, memories of a past trauma begin to surface in their mind.
Pearson
That smell reminds me of the first time I went to the spa after my accident.

Pearson
