[bright music] [Nina sighs] - Hey Nina, what's up?

- Oh, hi Nico.

- Is everything okay?

- I guess so.

- Hmm.

Looks like something's bugging you, Nina.

- Oh, yeah.

I'm not feeling my best right now.

I'm feeling kind of heavy, like a ton of books in my backpack are weighing me down.

- Do you wanna talk about it?

- I don't know.

I don't wanna bother you.

- Bother me?

No way!

We're supposed to help each other when we don't feel our best.

You remember when my dog Alfie ran off and we couldn't find him for a while?

I was super sad and really scared.

I didn't wanna talk about those heavy feelings, but my dad told me we could feel it together.

It helped a lot.

So come on, Nina.

Don't keep those feelings locked inside.

Share those feelings far and wide, wide, wide.

[both laugh] - Okay.

My friend Otis is moving away.

Right now, we go to the same school and we play together a lot.

But when Otis moves away, what am I gonna do?

- I'm sorry, Nina.

That's really hard.

I don't know what I'd do if you or CJ moved away.

- Otis and I have so much fun together.

We play basketball every day at recess, but that won't happen anymore.

I'm gonna miss him a lot.

- It can be hard when things change.

But just because Otis is moving doesn't mean you can't still be friends.

- How does that work?

- You can write letters, send a text, maybe even visit each other.

- It's not the same!

- You're right, it's not the same.

It doesn't feel great.

But hey, just like you always tell me, it's okay to feel all your feelings.

- I am sad.

But even though Otis is moving, we'll still be friends.

- Yeah.

- Thanks, Nico.

Talking about it made those sad feelings a little lighter.

- That's awesome, Nina.

- I didn't think anyone could understand how sad I felt about Otis moving.

I felt all alone with my heavy feelings, but talking to Nico about it really helped.

I feel lighter, like all the heavy books are out of my backpack.

I like to help my friends, but I forget that I need help sometimes too.

- So next time you feel something so heavy and you can't hold it by yourself, find someone to feel it together with.

- Thank you for feeling it together with me, Nico.

- Anytime, Nina.
