"No, Kye, you won't be okay," Ven said, his voice equally gentle but just as firm. "You've done so much already. You need to take care of yourself now."

Sylvia nodded in agreement, adding her own voice to the chorus. "We'll help you, Kye. We'll figure this out together. But you need to rest first."
