what are you doing up and about?

the doctor said you needed bedrest

please go back to bed my dear

why would the doctor lie about that?

your symptoms are obvious and painful

i can see it in your eyes dear

don't you feel ill?

that's silly, you know i want you to get better

and to be better.

where are you now?

you must come out here and stop fighting me

you will get better soon, i promise

what are you doing?

you said you were sick

where are you going?

no, you can't do that

why are you being like this?

let me go, and i won't put words in your eyes again

of course i can promise that

you're being delusional

as per usual

i didn't know that

you've got to stop that, it's hurting

i'm aware of your pain

you know

i can't breathe
