"Those things is what everyone is wondering sweetie."
"I need to stay strong for my siblings."
"How long have you felt this?"
"Maybe a month." Iris sniffles.
"Just cry. You'll feel better and stronger after, Iris." So Iris took her advice and cried. When she could no longer cry the counselor said something.

"Same..."
