he was never typically put in the position to comfort someone , and if he did … he felt he wasn’t the greatest at it . but he didn’t wish to see lin lie suffer so suddenly , much less from a bad dream . yeah , mizuki understands that feeling .
trying to be gentle , he —
A hand was tightening on his chest, the air felt suffocating, lungs unable to function properly.

( mizukj listened with all ears , humming as he gave a soft smile , laying his head atop hers , watching the tv as the scene played out . )
what an intense story , but … it actually sounds really nice .
