[The room slows again, but you're getting awfully close to the fire...]

[Talk like your life depends on it, huh? HE WILL BEAT THROUGH THE FLAMES WITH THE POWER OF HIS VOICE!]

Look... I didn't know you. I just thought you were kind of this weird angry girl! But now I get what you've been going through, and I get it! You're hurt, you lash out, you don't want to be hurt again!

I get that! But I'm not gonna let you keep lashing out like this - you know as well as I do that you have friends who'll never let you fall!

[The walls stop moving, leaving him inches from the fire... And he can see an object in it now.]

[FUCK FIRE, GRABBIN THAT OBJECT. YOU CAN'T HURT ME, FLAMES, MY SOUL BURNS IMMORTAL]

[As you reach into the fire, the fear you feel is muted and far away. The reason for that soon becomes clear as you pull the item out; it’s a first aid kit. Just holding it reminds you that you have enough support to make it through this. If you need help, the people who care about you won’t let you suffer alone. You might die or be hurt numerous more times, and that’s never going to be easier to accept…

But in the end, you have people who are willing to try to patch up your wounds of all sorts. That may not be enough to prevent all of the pain you’re feeling, but it might just be enough to make it out of this place in one piece in the end.

As you take the first aid kit, the room starts fading into a new area…]

[BRING IT ON, NATALIE, I GOT YOU.

Holding the first aid kid close.]

Yeah, you'll always have people there to pick you up when you fall down, Natalie.
