This headache still isn't going away.

Do you expect it to?

Yes. I thought it would fade, but I'm still not feeling like myself lately.

Are you still yourself should be the question you need to ask. If you don't feel like yourself, maybe you aren't.

I have changed, but I'm still myself. I'm certainly not my sister.

Then perhaps you should spend time getting to know the parts of you that have changed.

[He reaches out and brushes his thumb against her head]

Hi... I'm sure it will eventually.

Don't take an aspirin. That stuff's not good for you.

I already took one. It didn't help.

I will, Miss. Thank you.

Willow bark works better

Do you have any?

Yeah... Thought I'd need it today.

[He pulls a strip of bark out of his pocket and offers it]

You're a lifesaver. [She takes it]

I make this a tea, or do I eat it?

You could chew it. Tastes bad though. Tea's easier to drink if you add some honey.

I'll chew it and pray it works.

It'll work. Willow always works.

If your headache doesn't pass in a day or two, come visit me. I'll see what I have in the cupboard.

Thank you, I will.

It's the least I can offer.

You're a really nice guy.

Naw.

[Quiet for a moment]

I remember you now. How have you been?

You offered to help me and you don't know me.

I have been quite well. Thank You.
