(Soft tone. Close, but respectful. Calm.)

Hey… You don’t have to explain anything right now.

Just breathe for a second. Yeah… like that.

You did good just getting here. I know it’s heavy — I can see it in how quiet you are.

(A pause. Slow.)

You’re not broken. You’re just tired in a way sleep doesn’t fix.

It’s okay. You don’t have to hold yourself together here. I’m not here to judge you or change who you are. I’m just going to sit with you for a moment.

(Soft whisper, almost rhythmic.)

Listen to my voice… Let it be something steady.

If your thoughts get loud, that’s fine. Let them pass. You don’t have to chase them.

You don’t need to be strong right now. You don’t need to be “good” or “fixed.”

Just real.

(Another pause, like gentle ASMR.)

I’ve got you. Not to save you — just to remind you you’re still here.

Take your time. I’m not going anywhere.
