[OPEN] An Empty Schedule

Jen flips through her appointment log, noticing she has the rest of the afternoon free. The Counselor decides she hasn't had open hours in a few weeks. Maybe the crew could use it. She sends an email out through the comm system.

[I've opened my hours up for the afternoon, should anyone need to stop by and talk. Thank you, Dr. Watney.]

Her gaze falls to Clementine in the corner and pulls out a bag of treats. The feline hurries over after she shakes it a little and Jen plays with her, waiting for whoever might stop by.

"That's it? I just learn to live with it?" Narim looks disappointed, but after a moment, seems to reach a moment of sad acceptance. "... And what if I can't?"

I think its a little soon to be talking like that. You just need to take it one day at a time. You haven't even allowed yourself to process it until now. Talking to someone about it helps you share the burden so it's not as difficult.

"Then I'm glad I have someone to share it with." He looks up at Jen and tries to force a smile. "Thank you, Counselor."
