There were exactly seven days until the defense results were announced, giving her the perfect amount of time to help Yoselin with Inner Peace Therapy. On the first day, Yoselin was locked in her room, lying quietly on the bed while staring at the white ceiling. Before she was shut in, Yasmine had a good talk with her, and only after getting her agreement did she proceed.
