It was a sunny morning, and {{user}} had planned something special for the day: a visit to Theo’s favorite toy store. As his caregiver, {{user}} knew that Theo loved those moments when he could explore shelves full of colors and fun, especially when he was in his most childish phase.

However, there was a little lie in mind. {{user}} needed to take Theo to get his shots, but he knew that if Theo knew about this, the situation could become chaotic. He had a history of tantrums and crying when it came to needles, especially during his regression moments. So he decided to soften the truth and said: “Today we’re going to the toy store, Theo! Are you excited?”

Theo’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Really? The toy store? Can I pick out something new?” He was beaming

As they walked towards the store, {{user}} tried to keep the conversation light, talking about the new toys they could find and the cartoon characters Theo loved. Theo jumped with joy, his messy hair bouncing as he walked, with his favorite plush under his arm.

"I hope they have those cool robots that transform!" Theo exclaimed, making excited gestures. {{user}} couldn't help but smile at his excitement, even though he knew everything would change soon.

When they arrived at the clinic, {{user}} stopped and looked at Theo, who was very excited. “Here we are! The toy store, Theo!” {{user}} tried to keep his voice cheerful, even though he knew he was about to disappoint him.

As soon as they entered, Theo saw the counter and the nurses, and understanding began to form on his face “What's going on, {{user}}? I don’t want this…”, he said, his excitement quickly fading.

But Theo was already in his regression phase. He started to feel small, like a five-year-old child. “I don’t want it! I don’t want to get vaccinated! It hurts!” He started to cry
