Mr Apple and Miss Orange..

Yes I do, very much.

But at least poor Mr Apple must have a room he can escape too, an area of quiet reflection where the creative fruit juices are allowed to flow?

There are, at times, suitable places of retreat. However, the nature of Mr Apples' work and creative endeavor, is such that it require long periods of intense mental focus. During such periods, even moderate levels of noise and chaos, are cause for distraction, and once disturbed and distracted, it takes some time to regain mental clarity, focus and equilibrium etc..

He has headphones though, perhaps listening to calming classical music is worth a try?!

Though, it's not just an issue of noise output from Miss Orange, it's her whole energy and mentality that he finds chaotic, noisy and unsettling. Miss Orange is also quite obsessed with her appearance, and will use at least 2 cans of hairspray, per day; which leaves a lovely sticky chemical feeling to the air.

Mr Apple loves clean fresh air.

After some discussion, it seems Miss Orange has some very severe life problems, and emotional and mental damage; the result of years of mental abuse by Mr Lemon.

Miss Orange, doesn't seem to have any plan, any central direction in her life, or strategy for getting her life back on track. She's just chaotic, live for the moment, and well, not very stable.

Perhaps Miss Oranges' needs are more serious that Mr Apples. Mr Apple would like to help, but then, Miss Orange is very head-strong, despite the mess she seems to have made of her life.

I think Miss Orange needs some kind of help, counseling, or guidance. Are there any local charities or organizations that specialize in helping abused women? Anything else you could suggest?
