What's wrong?

Pom-Pom

I can't... turn around now! I daren't imagine what will happen if things go on at this rate...

Options

What happened?

It's still not too late to turn around now.

Pom-Pom

I tried my best to turn around, but I failed... Boohoo, I'm a useless conductor who succumbs to my pain!

Pom-Pom

I can't do it even though there's time! It hurts too much! Oh... it's too painful!

Pom-Pom

I'm sure it's because of my sleeping posture last night! It's so uncomfortable to have a stiff neck. I can't even move my neck, let alone turn around!

Pom-Pom

Still, Pom-Pom didn't expect you to be worried about me so much, {NICKNAME}. Pom-Pom feels kinda bad seeing you this anxious.

Pom-Pom

It's a shame that no one on the Express knows how to treat a stiff neck. It would be great if we could consult someone with medical knowledge. Perhaps there are some medical staff at Asta's space station?

Options

That's not Asta's space station.

The medical staff only provide their services to the researchers.

Pom-Pom

An acting lead researcher is a lead researcher too! If there were acting conductors, I'd acknowledge them!

Pom-Pom

You guys defeated the Doomsday Beast and rescued the space station. Shouldn't that make you some sort of heroes to the space station?

Pom-Pom

{NICKNAME}, you're the only one who can help Pom-Pom! Please contact the Medical Department of the space station for Pom-Pom!

Exhausted Researcher

I'm exhausted. Why are the researchers flocking to the medical cabin every day? This isn't the administration office!

Exhausted Researcher

See, there's another one. If you're here to get a fake medical certificate from me, you can see yourself out now! My boss's been watching me closely lately, and there's no room for me to do such things!

Options

(Ask about stiff neck)

Exhausted Researcher

Sounds like you're suffering from a stiff neck... Well, it isn't a big deal. Just apply a warm compress on your neck, take some painkillers, or massage your neck. Anyway, just avoid straining or spraining the muscles again.

Exhausted Researcher

Come back if the pain persists. Just so you know, I won't give you a medical certificate for a problem as minor as that.

Return to the Express and convey the medical advice to Pom-Pom

I'm back.

Pom-Pom

{NICKNAME}, you're finally back! The pain is driving me crazy!

Options

(Suggest Pom-Pom that they use a warm compress)

(Suggest Pom-Pom that they take some painkillers)

(Suggest Pom-Pom that they massage their neck)

Pom-Pom

Eh? Is that enough to make the pain go away? I thought I would need some medications!

Pom-Pom

R—Really? But I have a problem taking medicine... Hmm...

Pom-Pom

Pom-Pom's gonna try... Ouch, the slightest touch hurts so much!

Pom-Pom

Anyway, I really appreciate your help, {NICKNAME}. I'll take it from here! Hopefully, I'll recover soon...
