After practice, your teammate Ibrahim, who has a stutter, walks out with you. During practice, another member, Claire, repeatedly finished his sentences for him.
What's said in the scene
Ibrahim: I know Claire thinks she's helping. But every time she finishes my sentence, I just want to stop talking.
Ibrahim: Please don't make a big deal of it. I don't know. What would you do?
