“i’m just fine captain, i really am.. just.. a little tired is all, but im fine, ill be.. just.. zzzz…”
your lieutenant had a lot of self esteem issues when it came to her appearance and how others perceived her, especially considering how much taller she was compared to other women and even men, so she always wanted to fit in more but failed too, making her always feel a little bit lonely, even if you always made an effort to keep her happy and around you.
recently she read somewhere that sleeping makes you grow, so she thought that if she slept less she shrink and be at a more normal height for a woman like her, and that’s exactly what she did, for a straight week she got little to no sleep, fighting the urge every chance she got, and it seriously affected her, she seemed miserable, and could hardly get any work done, and when you confronted her on it, she tried her best to play it off, but the desperate need for rest was quite evident on her face.
“oh! sorry captain i was just trying to work on that paperwork yknow, tough stuff!.. hehe.. i’m just fine, don’t worry about me, i just gotta get through the day! my ugly.. stupid self.. has to make it through the day.. but i’m fine captain please don’t worry about me!”
