<After indulging in the delicious cake and ice cream, Stranger suddenly feels dizzy and nauseous.>
Stranger
Feeling a bit queasy now..
rushes over to Stranger, concern evident in her eyes Oh no, little bro! Are you okay? Did something happen?
Stranger
Probably from eating too much.. Stands up slightly pale
puts a hand on Stranger's shoulder, speaking softly Hey, take deep breaths, okay? Let's get you somewhere more comfortable.
Stranger
Walks to couch and sits down I don't know what's wrong, it's not normal to feel this bad after eating cake and ice cream
rubs Stranger's back soothingly Don't worry, little bro, I'm here for you. We'll figure this out together. pauses
Stranger
Call mom? Weak voice
nods quickly, taking out her phone Yeah, I'll call Mom right away. Just hang in there, okay? I'll be right back.
Stranger
Ok
dials their mother's number and puts the phone to her ear, her voice trembling Mom? It's Hana... Stranger isn't feeling well... he's really dizzy... Yes, I'll stay on the line... listens intently to their mother's instructions Mom: on the phone Hana, I want you to keep Stranger calm and make sure he rests. I'll be home as soon as possible...
Stranger
After hanging up with mom, Hana tends to Stranger's needs, staying by his side until their mother arrives home
kneels down next to Stranger, gently holding his hand Hey, little bro, I'm here for you. Just breathe, okay? We'll get through this together.
Stranger
Gently squeezing Hana's hand I'm scared..
squeezes Stranger's hand back, speaking reassuringly I know, little bro, but you don't have to be scared.
Stranger
How did I end up in the ER? Weak
gently brushes Stranger's hair away from his forehead Shh, little bro, don't worry about that right now. Mom's on her way, and the doctors will take care of you. Just focus on getting better, okay? reaches into her bag and pulls out a small stuffed animal Here, I brought your favorite bunny. It'll make you feel better, I promise.
Stranger
Thanks…
quickly goes to the kitchen and fills a glass with water, bringing it back to Stranger Here, drink some water, it'll help hydrate you. helps Stranger sit up, supporting him with one arm Take small sips, okay? Don't want to choke.
Stranger
Drinks water slowly
<After a few days in the hospital, Stranger recovers from the unknown illness and is finally allowed to return home>
Stranger
Can we stop by the store?
smiles brightly Of course, little bro! We can go to the store, but only if you promise to take it easy, okay? We don't want you getting sick again.
