"There is a reason Guides keep sessions to 15-30 minute intervals. Any longer than that and there is a chance for a rebound of sorts. We call it overextension or overexertion. With your Class, and how long Kellen was Guiding, there is no chance he's escaping side effects. Kellen here is trying to tell me that he is going to go about the rest of his day like nothing happened." She sighed, shaking her head as the Captain's grip on Kellen tightened further. She continued. "Side effects can vary for everyone, but for Kellen he usually runs a particular type of fever and is usually overly sensitive to touch of any kind. These are fairly common side effects, but are particularly awful. They can be excruciating without a partner, especially without an Esper. The only way to soothe the sensitivity is to gently surround the Guide in the Esper's power while touching the Guide. That's the only way to calm them. Even if this side effect is common, it can sometimes last for days." She sighed again, running her hand over the top of her smoothed hair. "I don't think that'll be the case for Kellen, even at his level, but he needs his rest. Even if it's with sleeping pills. Give me a sec." She turned and went for a large cabinet behind her desk. Kellen could feel the Captain's stare on him. He was clearly upset.
