Maybe I play too many video games.

Driving to an IHSSA thing to see a friend, Matt, do a group mime. The event seems to be in the precise middle of nowhere. On the way there, I discover Sam's little sister in my backseat. When we get there, she tells me I can just leave her in the car. I see Matt's group, but Matt isn't there (I remember wondering where he was). Sam is, as are several other people I know. It seems to be less mime and more choral reading. After the performance,  I see Sam. I tell her congratulations. She was walking about 20 feet in front of me, so I'm not really sure if I shouted or texted it to her. Her mom pulls up in her car and yells something like "Here comes the school bus!" I secretly judge her a little. Sam gets in the car. As I cross in front of them, having seen a gap in the red fence separating sidewalk and driveway from parking lot, I hear her mom mutter something along the lines of "maybe if I keep saying things like that, she'll start getting dressed in the morning." I remember a time where I accidentally answered a door in my pajamas. I get in my car and see that Sam's little sister is still there. She's sick. I turn on the air conditioning, but to no avail. I access a menu that looks like a combination of this screen and this screen. Using it, I note that she has the status effect "Ill" and reset her to the last time she was snowed on. It starts to snow on her in the backseat of my car. I quickly change it to the last time she was cold. Once her fever is gone, the "Ill" status goes away. I return the temperature of the car to normal.
