Yes, passive resistance only. Dodge and deflect while calmly engaging her verbally; if that proves unsustainable then leave the room and call for medical assistance.

Agatha. I wish to give you feedback on your performance.

No-sell any attempts to attack us. What she is matters less than getting her in a more receptive state.

TEXN: Agatha. I wish to give you feedback on your performance.

COMBAT ROLL: 17 +4 PERK BONUS (COMBAT) = 21 VS DC 16. SUCCESS!

She snarls, and attempts to claw at you again, which you dodge with ease. You decide to move to the opposite side of the room while remaining on topic.

TEXN: First: excellent work. You scored 88 points out of 100 on your last run through of the course, much higher than this run.

Agatha doesn't seem to register your words yet, but you continue on.

TEXN: Your only flaw is letting the situation get to you. You need to maintain a calm, objective mindset rather than allowing yourself to get wrapped up in your emotions. It appears that-

COMBAT ROLL: 12 +4 PERK BONUS (COMBAT) = 16 VS DC 16. SUCCESS!

This time she kicks at you, which you block easily by grabbing her foot. She doesn't seem to know how to respond to this, so you use it as an opportunity to maintain eye contact with her. You're relieved to see that she appears to be calming down a bit and is looking less like a wild animal.

AGATHA: gently caress you!

She yanks her foot free and backs up, regaining her balance.

AGATHA: I tried that already! Multiple times!

You hold up your hands, still keeping your distance.

TEXN: I was not yet finished speaking. I was trying to say that it appears that you are triggered by stimuli, Agatha. Especially auditory stimuli, but possibly visual ones as well. This isn't your fault, but it is something you need help compensating for. Have you considered meditation?

DIPLOMACY ROLL: 18 -2 FLAW PENALTY (DIPLOMACY) = 16 VS DC 12. SUCCESS!

She takes a deep breath, and exhales, obviously struggling to regain her composure.

AGATHA: I guess... that makes sense.

She tries to smooth her hair, which is still incredibly frizzy. At this point she starts to notice her appearance, and it makes her gasp and bolt out of the room.

TEXN: Wait!

You duck out of the room, and see her rushing for a nearby restroom. It appears to be a single-occupant restroom, because she slams the door shut and locks it.

TEXN: Do you need any assistance?

AGATHA: N-no! Leave me alone! I'm fine!

You stand there, once again unsure what to do. All the pop culture research you've performed didn't have much guidance on handling someone who has a condition that turns them into a beast-person.

I think you should try taking a martial arts as a hobby so you can try and focuses you're condition into something more contrastive. I preferer Pankration my self, but that's beside the point.

Wait until she emerges, but this is the approach.

Wait until she comes out on her own, suggest focusing energy and aggression into a martial arts hobby.
