Ptelea sets her head on Admi's shoulder, sniffling. She then looks at the doctor for a moment. "You have to promise you won't hurt me." She says as assertive as she can manage. She didn't like people who acted like they cared then hurt her. She decided they were the worst people now.

"It will hurt for only a moment," The doctor offers, gesturing towards the partially-completed work on the brace. "but it will hurt much more later if you don't allow me to do this now. You want to use your arm, don't you?" He speaks methodically with clear focus on his task.
