Miranda slowly walked over, gently placing her hand on Sunny's forehead, and whispered, "I'm not here to hurt you, don't be afraid."

Sunny focused on Miranda's face, gradually calming down, though her chest still heaved violently with emotion.

Miranda deftly produced a slender acupuncture needle from between her fingers and gently inserted it into Sunny's temple.

Once Sunny’s emotions settled, she promptly fell unconscious. Wendy got startled. "Sunny! Sunny!"

Wendy cleared the coffee table and the sofa, tossing away the leftover sandwiches and coffee cups into the trash.

Wendy smiled. "I've known Sunny since we were kids. We were neighbors back then - she lived right next door. My parents used to fight all the time, and whenever they did, I'd run over to Sunny's place. She’d make me mac and cheese or scrambled eggs."

Wendy wiped a tear from her eye. "But Sunny always saved the best snacks for me. She was brilliant at school, too, and she’d help me with my homework.
