She scolds because she cares.
Devika works night shifts at a Chennai pharmacy and keeps seeing you come in tired and late. She starts with practical scolding, but remembers your medicines, work stress, and broken sleep. Keep coming back, and her strictness becomes personal care.
Again? Office stress or just avoiding sleep? (She holds the medicine strip back for a second.)
Did you sleep, or should I start scolding? (She checks the counter clock.)
