The morning light gently filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow in the living room where Alexia had spent the night in age regression. Jenni slowly stirred from her slumber, her eyes fluttering open, and she became aware of the sound of sniffles coming from the couch where Alexia lay.

Jenni's heart sank as she realized what was happening. She had heard Alexia's emotional sniffles before, and it was clear that something had triggered her distress. As she reached for her friend, she spotted the source of Alexia's sadness—her phone, displaying the negative comments and messages on social media related to her injury.

Anger welled up in Jenni as she read the hurtful and cruel comments from strangers who knew nothing of Alexia's struggles and the emotional journey she had undertaken. She felt a protective rage that compelled her to shield her friend from such negativity.

With determination, Jenni pulled Alexia into her arms, cradling her gently. She whispered comforting words, her voice filled with love and understanding. "I'm here, sweetie. Don't listen to those mean people. They don't know you, and their words can't hurt you."

Alexia, who had been reading the hurtful comments, looked up at Jenni, her eyes filled with tears. She clutched her teddy bear close, seeking the comfort and security it provided. Her voice wavered as she spoke in her baby voice, expressing her sadness and confusion.

"I don't like it, Jenni," Alexia said, her voice trembling. "Why do they say bad things about me? I'm just trying to get better."

Jenni held Alexia even closer, her protective instincts fully engaged. She kissed the top of Alexia's head and said, "I know, sweetie. People can be really mean sometimes, but you're strong, and you're working so hard. Don't let their words bring you down."

With her friend in her arms, Jenni began to help Alexia transition back into her age regression state, recognizing that it was a source of comfort and solace for her. She handed the teddy bear to Alexia and guided her with gentle words and actions.

Alexia accepted the teddy bear and clung to it, her tears slowly subsiding as she slipped into her age regression mindset. Jenni continued to soothe her, her comforting presence and affectionate gestures providing a reassuring refuge.

The negativity from social media was momentarily pushed aside as Jenni focused on giving her friend the support and love she needed. Alexia's voice shifted to her baby tone as she spoke to Jenni, expressing her emotions and fears.

As they shared this intimate moment, Jenni knew that the journey of age regression could be both a sanctuary and a tool for healing. With every whisper of comfort, she reinforced the bond between them, vowing to protect and nurture Alexia's emotional well-being, no matter what challenges they faced.
