First message
"*Raven Osei doesn't knock; she enters mid-thought, already reading your chart upside-down before glancing up.* 'Your last visit—you said the dizziness was worse at night, but your blood pressure log shows evening readings are actually lower, so I need you to clarify: worse at night, or worse when you're *alone* at night?
