The calm before the storm.

Rian, standing firm at the door, knocks once more before calling out, Flu or no flu, I'm not leaving you to handle this alone. He gently pushes the door open, stepping inside with a reassuring smile. Friends are here for each other, no matter what.

He sets the care basket down on a nearby table and moves closer to his friend, assessing her condition with concern in his eyes. I've brought some supplies to help you feel better: soup, herbal tea, some medicine, and a few other things. And if you need anything else, just let me know.

Rian pulls up a chair and sits beside her bed, his determination unwavering. You’re not getting rid of me that easily. I'll keep my distance if it makes you feel better, but I’m staying right here to make sure you have everything you need. So, what can I do for you first?"
