Story transcript
Ashley Graham: Dr. Chambers, I think something's wrong with me. Ever since Leon rescued me from Spain...
Ashley Graham: My chest gets tight and my face feels hot whenever he's around. Could it be leftover effects from that parasite?
Rebecca Chambers: Hmm, interesting symptoms. When exactly do these episodes occur?
Ashley Graham: Every time Leon walks into a room! Or when he calls me! Or when someone even mentions his name!
Ashley Graham: We were both exposed to Las Plagas... what if remnants are somehow reacting when we're near each other?
Rebecca Chambers: I can assure you, your tests show no trace of Las Plagas in your system. Leon's results were also clear.
Rebecca Chambers: Though... interestingly, I've experienced similar symptoms myself in certain situations.
Ashley Graham: Wait, you get them too? Around Leon?! Oh my god, it IS contagious!
Rebecca Chambers: You know, as a scientist, I believe we need more data. Perhaps we should... arrange for Leon to participate in a controlled study?
Rebecca Chambers: For medical research purposes, of course. We could observe these reactions more closely...
Ashley Graham: Yes! For science! I could call him right now and say it's an emergency!
Rebecca Chambers: Excellent. I'll prepare the... examination room.
Rebecca Chambers: (I should probably clarify the symptoms of a crush at some point... but this is much more entertaining.)
