[ Shit, so it's the event again! They've apparently fucked with memories before, now emotions too?! ]
Goddammit!
[ He curses at the air, directing his outburst to a direction that's not Tsumiki's face ー so thankfully, she doesn't need an umbrella for that brief saliva rain. The Red Queen? The Queen of Hearts? The Jabbuh-something? Who's responsible for all these events? ]
...!
[ The anger that's building up immediately dissipates when he feels the tremble within the grasp of his palm. Tsumiki's still sobbing in distress, even without her saying it aloud, it's clear how terrified she is. ]
Tsu-- Tsumiki...
[ Shit, what does he do at this situation? There's no one around them now, and he's left to deal with this on his own. Come on, think, what do you do to calm people down, think! He intensely stares at Tsumiki like that would help anything, but the more he tries to think, the more he can't focus. ]
Look, it's fine. We're fine now...
[ They're not exactly 'fine', with their tongues being controlled, but at least it's not their memories or emotions that are being fiddled with. ]
You're... you're not that person.
[ Tsumiki was being controlled by the event. It wasn't her will to do all that, and yet people were still hurt. That's the most frustrating bit about it ー he gets it, even though his situation was different. She's in a much better place than he is, it didn't come naturally from her. Sure, there's no telling if that event can happen again, but they're alright now, and that's what matters.
Feeling that his words won't get through in her state now, his free hand reaches out and settles on her head. It's the only gesture he's done that has proved to evoke a positive feeling ー at least that's what happened when he did it to Jon. Not so much in Damian's case, it seemed, but at least... he hopes this will help something.

.....Or will it, if he's just putting it there. ]
