Someone knocked on the door. Opal ignored it.
"Opal! Open the door!" someone shouted. It was Sophie's voice.
Opal covered her ears and continued to ignore her.
"Please, Opal. Can we talk?"
"Go away!" Opal shouted.
"Only if you come out-"
Opal's anger was at its maximum, and she just pushed it all out onto Sophie. There was a scream outside. Followed by footsteps rushing toward Sophie. Opal covered her ears and cried.
"Oi, Opal," Keefe shouted from outside, "If you're going to knock Sophie out, can you at least stop all the waves of regret you're hitting me with?"
The door suddenly got kicked open. Keefe walked into Opal's room and Biana followed. Opal looked outside the door. Sophie was sprawled on the ground, unconscious, and Mr. Forkle, Dex and Fitz were all trying to lift her up. Opal's insides immediately bubbled with regret. She turned around and tried retreating to her bathroom, but Biana blocked her way. Biana led Opal back to the bed and sat her down.
"What happened?" Biana asked.
"Nothing," Opal replied.
"Come on. We know you did something," Keefe urged.
Opal hesitated before whispering, "Inflicting."
"What?" Biana asked. She obviously hadn't caught what Opal said.
"I think she said Inflicting," Keefe said.
Opal nodded.
"Well, isn't this kind of like that one time you mesmerized Dad?" Biana asked. Opal shuddered.
"Please don't bring that up," Opal pleaded.
"Yeah," Keefe agreed, "No need to add another emotion to the mix."
Biana nodded. "Mr. Forkle asked us to check in on you."
"Aren't the more concerned about my sister?" Opal scoffed.
"Well... no," Biana said.
"I don't believe it."
"You should," Keefe said, "Metal and physical health are both important. So, you need help."
"Course I do. Want to be my therapist?"
"Is that a human thing?"
"Yeah," Opal shrugged.
"Okay then," Keefe said, "Throw 'em at me."
Opal hesitated. "You sure?" Opal didn't want to burden her friends with her troubles. Not only that, but it was also embarrassing. Very embarrassing.
"Yup!" Keefe exclaimed.
"But-"
Keefe was interrupted by the door opening. Fitz was standing there, with a frown creasing his brows.
