"You're right on the money." Luna agreed wholeheartedly. "I have a friend whose brother seems to be into that kind of research, they say he's really something. I'll get in touch with him."
Rosalynn gave a nod with a smile.
After hanging up the phone, Erica was still feeling pretty down.
She picked up a stick again, swept the ground, shedding a few tears before she managed to get a hold of herself.
Then she called Larkin.
Larkin answered quickly, "What's up?"
"Larkin, does anyone in your family know how to handle multiple personality disorder?" She asked dispiritedly.
"I know you're still hung up on this." Larkin sounded a bit helpless. "I've asked the elders at home, they said they can't be sure without seeing the patient and making a diagnosis."
"So, there's still a chance, right?" Erica's eyes lit up. "Rosalynn also said she's going to find some experts!"
"Are you in your room?" Larkin asked gently.
"No, I'm outside sweeping." Erica swept the ground a couple more times and drew a small turtle.
Larkin chuckled, "Turn around."
Erica stood up and turned around, seeing the man she loved standing at the half-open gate.
She didn't know why, but her emotions started to well up again.
She pouted and walked over slowly, asking, "How long have you been standing there?"
"Just got here." Larkin reached out and took the stick from her hand. "Walk with me."
Stepping outside, Erica thought for a moment and said to Larkin, "I need a hug."
Looking at her, Larkin didn't say a word, just opened his arms and pulled her into a hug, gently ruffling her hair. "What am I gonna do with you, you’re so sensitive."
People who empathize easily not only feel joy more readily, but also feel pain more acutely.
