[Rachel looks a little pale, but her expression is level and gaze clear. She's sick, but not terribly so. She's not disheveled, but her breath is occasionally labored, as if she's fighting back a deep cough.]

I am obviously not as sick as many others in the city. I'm offering my services to those who might need my help. [She pauses, caught as if she wishes to say more, but looks away from the NV and coughs a few times.] Excuse me. Obviously, there is no worry of infecting me.

[Helpful angel is helpful. Hopefully.]

I live alone and am only offering my services to those already sick. I doubt I'll spread it any worse than it already is.

That's not... exactly true? You can compound on this disease, and that will make it worse for people. It has a chance of mutating with that. Plus, you're spreading it not only to people, but to whatever building you're in as well.

I do not understand how that is possible.

You're...sick. Whatever you touch keeps the germs in place, and transfers them to other people. Germs can live on surfaces for a very long time.

Can they? [It's thoughtful, almost rhetorical.] I do not travel as most do. I doubt I'd leave germs in places they weren't already. [Pause] But I do not know sickness as well as some do.

Yes, they can. We're in a medical emergency, and any little thing could do more damage. So please, come into the hospital if you're feeling sick.

I am not sick enough to demand your resources.

[video]

[surgicalshot]

You're not demanding anything. It's called help. That's what we're here for.

[video]

[learnyourplace]

I will come, if this gets worse.

[surgicalshot]

Promise?

[learnyourplace]

[A sigh.] I promise.
