Marisse is all happy and high on endorphins right now but the previous week's worrying about the bar exam has not left her unscathed.
While I haven't seen evidence of her trichotillomania (an impulse disorder where she keeps pulling out her hair, strand by strand, for no apparent reason), her inability to check her strangely destructive impulses are apparently not limited to her hair. Before Marisse became a lawyer, her right thumb itched and she scratched it.
And scratched some more.
Until all that scratching produced a blister that later kinda burst.
Where she proceeded to peel the skin off, revealing a raw epidermis, devoid of its stratum corneum.
Where she continued to peel new skin that desperately tried to regenerate itself.
And when she finally felt the pain, she decided that she needed medical attention.
And Vanessa scared her into getting anti-tetanus shots.
This is her at around one o'clock in the morning. She chose a day when I was on ER duty at Polymedic because she's not a big fan of needles.
Well, good luck, Mars. You're getting another shot on May 6. Can't assure you I'll be on duty then.
