[ For Kido, sitting still and doing absolutely nothing is an escape, not something to escape from, so when Terry agrees and she can let go of some of that fear, go back to leaning on Terry with her ear pressed up against his heart and letting her eyes close as he pats her back. Her breath hitches every once in a while, but it's helping. Her nose is so stuffy she has to breathe through her mouth and her throat doesn't like that, threatening to close and making the hiccups worse. Her head hearts. Her heart does too, but hurting is so much better than feeling absolutely nothing at all.
The tears stop eventually. Her breathing evens out. She's fallen asleep, and it'll just be like this for the next couple of days. Waking up, rejecting reality, and going back to sleep. Inconsolable. ]
