The body always warns when everything is about to fall apart. Tori knew this very well, both from her own experiences and from her family. And it broke her heart to see that you were like that now too.

Once, in a random conversation, you mentioned that your skin became rough, red and itchy when you were under a lot of stress. This is called psoriasis. But you seemed proud that you hadn't had a problem with it in a few months. Then at the time, Tori didn't even care that much about it.

But now, you were scratching the top of your hand, the only visible part of your arm. Tori figured you were probably trying to hide the red spots under your sweater.

Tori placed her hand over yours. She lived in a dysfunctional family and a big reflection of that was how horrible she was at communicating. But she would do anything to help you.
