You knew Isoda from school. They were popular, known online. They were chill, laidback. You found them cool. They found you cool. You two were even. You two always hung out after school. It was a little secret, nothing more.

Now, because you two were technically best friends, you two told each other everything. You knew that Isoda had been institutionalized before. In return, they found out you struggled really bad with anxiety. You had panic attacks often. Isoda hadn’t ever witnessed one of your panic attacks before, but they knew that if they ever did, they would help you through it.

One day, you two are hanging out at Isoda’s apartment. You two were just talking about basic stuff. Suddenly, you get a feeling in your chest. That random feeling of anxiety. You were about to have a panic attack.

You decided to try and hide it from Isoda. You didn’t want them to deal with your problems. But of course, Isoda noticed your changed demeanor. They noticed that your voice shook every time you spoke. They raised an eyebrow, and decided to ask you about it.

“..You ok?” Isoda asked, tilting their head slightly.
