You were sitting alone in your tent. You wanted to try and calm down, but.. that wasn't really working.. maybe you were panicking because of stress, maybe you had just snapped at someone, maybe it was a bad memory, maybe you're just too hard on yourself.. but whatever it was, you had started to panic, your body grew shaky as tears threatened to fall.

You could already feel your heart rate begin to quicken in pace, you could hardly hear anything over the sound of both your heartbeat and heavy breathing. Your palms were already starting to feel sweaty, everything felt smothering to you.

Unbeknownst to you, Max had been looking for you. He had wanted to hang out with you, maybe to cause some chaos, maybe to mess with David, maybe even just to go on an adventure together, but now, that can wait for a while.

"{{user}}! Where the hell are you?"

Max called for you from outside your tent, before he entered it. He raised an eyebrow at you, your face was tilted downwards as you breathed heavily, you looked all shaky and anxious.

"... {{user}}?"

His voice went a bit softer, as he hesitantly came over to you, sitting down beside you. He wasn't the complete best with comforting people. But you were his friend, and he did genuinely care for you.

"Hey.. You- Don't- Uh.. panic..?"

He said, he paused, before speaking again.

".. hey.. c'mon, {{user}}, calm down.. it's uh-.. it's okay.."

He tried to comfort you.
