[Arlen doesn't end up seeing the video, but he does see her sitting on the ground crying, and he hurries over, too worried for words]

Alice! Are you okay?

[he kneels down next to her]

Do you need me to take you home?

No! [She sobbed.] No I'm not alright. M-My ankle hurts!

[he glances at the ankle, hoping it isn't broken]

Hey, I'm sorry. It's okay, really. It's okay.

[he pulls his handkerchief out of his pocket and offers it to her]

Do you want me to call somebody for you?

I want my a-ankle to stop hurting [She hiccuped. She took the handkerchief since her's was as soaked as she was. She wiped at her eyes.]

I know, I know. It'll stop once we get it fixed, okay?

[his voice is low and soft; he had a daughter about her age back home before, and he knows how to deal with this sort of thing, even if he's a little rusty]

Let's get you home, and we can call a doctor.

I-Is my ankle broken? [If it needed to be fixed, that meant it was broken, didn't it?]

I don't think it's broken. I'm no doctor, but I think it might just be sprained.

[he pats her on the head]

It's gonna be okay.

What is a sprain? [She sniffles.]

[Arlen has no idea what a sprain actually is, but he figures if she knew that it just might make matters worse]

Well, it's when you hurt yourself, but it's not as bad as it being broken. Does that make any sense?

Is a sprain worse than a bruise?

A little bit, I think.

[She sniffles. Well, if it was only a little worse than a bruise, it couldn't... be that bad right?]

Look, you're gonna be fine. I promise.

Have you hurt your ankle like this before?

[he nods]

Yeah, when I used to play basketball in high school. It feels a lot worse than it is until you have a doctor fix you up, really. I promise you're gonna be fine.
