"Justin? Are you in there?" a girl's voice said.

Of course, he wanted to be alone. Aiko left him and he still couldn't get over it.

"Justin? Please don't make me let myself in." she said again.

He still didn't answer. It was probably against policy, but she used the master keycard and allowed herself inside. He turned around and saw Lailani standing there. She knew he was upset.

"What do you want, Lailani?" he said, not too happy about the situation.

"I just came to check on you. You seemed very upset when you stormed out of the lobby earlier. Is everything alright?"

Justin thought to himself. He should really try not to lash out at Lailani. It wasn't her fault. 

She didn't know Aiko was lying to her when she checked out. He decided to speak.

"No, nothing's alright, Lailani. Aiko ditched me and took $600 from me. I have just barely enough left to buy a few plane tickets for a flight back home. My heart hurts... My head hurts... EVERYTHING hurts."

She walked up to him and gave him a big hug. She imagined how horrible he felt.

"I am so sorry, Justin. I feel very bad. But, I did ask Mrs. Belrose if I could take a day off to spend with you. We're all worried about you, her included. So, I'm off right now and I brought my oils with me."

This didn't seem right. She didn't have to drop everything she was doing just to see him.

"Lailani, you didn't have to do that. Heck, I wish you didn't. Sarah would probably scare off the customers if she worked at the front desk for even a day. It would be bad for business."

"It's not just her, it's Mrs. Belrose too. She's actually paying me for taking time off to help a friend."

He didn't know how to feel. The fact that Brooke is giving her a paid day off just to help him was almost unreal.

"T-Thank you, Lailani. I appreciate you and everyone else here."

"It's no problem, Justin. But, I have my oils here and I'll teach you the proper way to consume them." she said while grabbing some weird vials out of her bag.

"So, before I choose one to drink, what are these, exactly?" he asked.

"They're special oils that can only be found in the deep jungles of Inna De Poona. Once consumed, you will be asleep for a good 20 hours but you'll wake up feeling better with whatever problem you took it for."

This sounded kind of weird. It was like some exotic drugs were being grown in the jungles of Inna De Poona. That would probably explain why one of them was for erectile dysfunction.

"So, which one do you want? I have one for anger, anxiety, depression, hunger, and uh... The other one." she finished in a nervous tone. He knew she was talking about the one for erectile dysfunction.

"I don't know. I can mostly handle depression, my anger isn't a huge problem right now, I'm trying to diet right now, and my penis is okay."

"Well, you should choose carefully. The bad thing about them is that you can only have one a month. Consuming two or more might have irreversible side effects."

This was a tough decision. He was so torn between the anxiety one and the depression one. He then made his choice.

"You know what? I'll choose the one for anxiety."

She smiled. It seemed like the perfect choice to her.

"Good choice. I'm actually going to take one for anxiety too."
