Josh and Jocelyn were making their way back to their humble abode after a long day of scholarly pursuits, when suddenly, a convoy of youngsters in a truck zoomed past them. Startled by this unexpected spectacle, Jocelyn sought refuge behind her protective brother. Sensing her distress, Josh swiftly donned his headphones and scooped up Jocelyn in his arms, determined to provide solace. Together, they continued their homeward journey, until they finally arrived at their sanctuary.

Josh gently set his sister down, and with a deft hand, unlocked the door to their haven. Jocelyn, seeking solace in the comfort of her own space, retreated to her room. Meanwhile, Josh, feeling a pang of thirst, sauntered over to the refrigerator to fetch a refreshing glass of milk. However, as he reached for the chilled liquid, his gaze fell upon a vibrant Post-it note, bearing the weighty message of counseling.

"What a load of rubbish," Josh muttered under his breath. Determined to support his beloved sister, Josh swiftly retrieved Jocelyn from her room, and together, they embarked on a journey towards emotional healing. As they entered the counseling room, they were greeted by Alex, the counselor, who wasted no time in engaging Josh in a conversation about their shared love for pizza.

With a nod of agreement, Josh confirmed his affinity for the cheesy delight. Curiosity piqued, Alex turned to Jocelyn and inquired about her pizza preferences. However, Josh interjected, informing Alex that his sister was unable to partake in the gastronomic pleasure due to her unfortunate condition - gastritis. Alex expressed sympathy for Jocelyn's predicament, acknowledging the unfortunate circumstances.

In unison, Josh and Jocelyn sighed, acknowledging the unfortunate reality of Jocelyn's dietary restrictions.
