As Roland tried to get her to take back her treatment pad, she refused as he took his hand back and placed it back in his book bag while his face went from a happy smile to a weary look, but still tried to stay positive. He wondered why she didn’t want to talk to him, but also wondered why she carried all of those compress pads in her book bag as well. As he studied her quickly while she stated on his antics of why he wanted to talk to her, he noticed afterwards that she acted somewhat worn down, fragile, and hurt for some reason. He couldn’t figure out why, but he didn’t want to keep questioning her about it either. Instead, he just wanted to make her feel welcome and comfortable due to the fact that no one else is doing, but instead put her down when she is in their sight.
