Wow, this is awesome. Especially the initial rejection in 3&4 resonates with me.

I like that they both form a sort of codependent relationship based on their trauma. This sort of unstable relationship is the ground for some great relatable stories. I do hope that they can stick together after overcoming their trauma. That would be a really nice ending. A bad storyending, but the message would be nice: “Even this can be overcome”.

Also 18 is relatable. Way overdone, kinda like Twitter but on the frontdesk. Though it’s nice of them to warn people that they won’t get help there. Wish some real places would adopt that honesty.

I’m not gonna show my boss my fan fiction.

Is she sweating because she’s insecure about her knowledge, or is she sweating because she fears a followup question into WHAT she did?
