'I come bearing gifts, Pallis.'
'WHY ARE YOU LATE?'
'I-'
'Save it! I knew this was a bad idea...'
'Are you alright? I was just 30 minutes late-'
'Like it isn't much!'
'I texted you too. I told you about the job.'
'Excuses, excuses.'
'Last I remember, you stood me up too.'
'Look, I am not in the mood to argue with you. My family is coming back in like, 10 minutes. Please go away.'
'You didn't te-'
'I didn't tell them anything. Please go away.'
'Pallis, don't push me away. I can help you.'
'You can't, Alaric.'
'I can. Just tell me what's wrong.'

'KEVIN! YOU'RE HAVING A PANIC ATTACK. YOU NEED TO BREATHE.'
'No... You need... to go away...'
'I'LL GO AWAY. JUST BREATHE.'
'...'
'Fuck. You just had to faint, right?'
