This is not urgent, I'm just writing a story and want the reaction to be believable so there is no rush.

I have a student in my story (18 F) who received very devastating news and collapsed after crying heavily. Naturally, she was sent to the infirmary to wake up, but she will likely start crying again when she comes to.

So, what would a GP do to maybe stabilize her and/or help her process the situation? My first instinct that the GP could give her a mild painkiller to mellow her down, but I don't know if that would be standard practice or if it's even the right thing to do, so here I am.

(Note that the counselor wasn't on school grounds at the time so counseling won't be available)

I have been on a Japanese history binge lately and the Ainu people were mentioned in a video I watched on YouTube. That made wonder: considering there are many countries around the world that have indigenous or native population which have their own unique languages and sometimes their own forms of media (like newspapers, books, and even dubbed TV show and movies), I'm curious if the Ainu people have produced or printed anything I could check out so I could perhaps learn more about them! I'm aware the language itself went extinct somewhere in 2012-2015 and it currently survives as a heritage language; I'm also aware that they're not a lot them, but what about the people and their culture? Is the rumor that most Ainu people don't even know if they're Ainu true?

Also, another question: what does the average Japanese person think when they hear the word "Ainu" in regards to either the culture or the people?

Thanks for your time in advance!

I know that might sound very specific, but I just want to make sure. I can be forgetful so I developed a habit of writing things down before they go away. I'm aware of concepts like "Kuuki wo Yomu/reading the air" and not disrupting the flow of a conversation, so I make sure to always write my notes as quickly as possible or during moments where I don't need to weigh in or add something while trying to activity listen. But I wonder if something like that could be rude at all. (Yeah, I guess I could ask my friends directly, but we are a relatively new group. And I worry that they will just be nice to me and I don't want to annoy anyone)

Mind you, I don't obsessively write notes, I just write things I find interesting or things that I have to remember for later—and those could be like two to three notes per sitting, which could last up to a couple of hours.

So, am I overthinking this or I should not do that?
