Rutherford [thinking]: should i tell Guz that Tendi is my best friend? or would that make her not want to open up to me? it'd be the right thing to tell her...
R (speaking): Yeah, I know of her.
[thinking]: dammit.
Guz: The whole thing started a few months ago.

Guz: I was in sickbay for my physical before my shift...
flashback to sick bay. Guz is sitting on a biobed.
Tendi: The Hyposprays won't work on you, so I'll need to extract a tissue sample with this. [a needle] Is that alright?
Guz, melty text: I've been through this before.
Guz looks terrified of the needle and is shaking.

panel 1
Tendi puts the needle in (censored for my sake), Guz looks awful.
Tendi puts her hand on Guz' shoulder, and Guz stops shaking and coheres.
Tendi: Can you hold your arm still for me? I promise I'll be gentle.
Guz (melty text): o.k.
Tendi: Good girl. (between panels)
[Tendi extracts the tissue sample.]
Guz, melty text: Eep! (blushing orange white and purple)
Guz, box text: [why would she say that? Does she say that to all her patients? Rutherford, you don't know what that DID to me.]
