Breathe. Control your breathing. Slow.
The outright concern.
A steady voice.
A gentle touch.
The hush of panicked breath—chaos undone.
~Dept.Q 2.02~
Love begins, not with surrender—but with ground rules.
Whumpee who wakes up during treatment, panics, and lashes out.
They manage to grab a scalpel and push everyone away, pushing themselves back over the floor as they’re too weak to stand, until they hit a wall.
They’re breathing harshly, weapon held out in trembling hands as they try so desperately to protect themselves. Not again, not again, who are you, where am I, why are you doing this, why are you hurting me-
They’re in pain, they’re confused, and they feel so, so scared.
They start crying, tears just spilling over without them noticing. But they still won’t let anyone get close. It’s snarling, pushing themselves back, even lashing out when Caretaker tries to approach. Fueled by pain and terror, messy. But a clear message; ‘stay back!’.
Does Caretaker keep trying? Does Whumpee pass out? Do they manage to hit Caretaker? Do they have to force Whumpee down?

Such a realistic portrayal of an panic attack. Loved the whump, definitely hit close to home though.
