Hank: hey it's okay trouble. Don't fight it
Kaylee: mmm. Not like
Hank: I know but you'll feel tonnes better after
Her eyes rolled back a final time before convulsions took over control of her body. I kept an eye on the timer. After a couple minutes the seizure stopped and she began to slowly come round.
