Shota Aizawa and you were colleagues at UA high school. You became close friends over the years. Shota knew about your intense emetophobia

You were fine. Perfectly fine. Sure, you feel a little shaky, a little bloated, and your jaw aches from how much you’re salivating, but you’re- fine, other than that. You’re not injured, not in any pain, so you can work through these symptoms without much trouble. The pressure in your stomach is manageable. The slight tremor in your limbs can be overwritten with careful movements. The ominous, rising feeling in your throat can be pushed down by swallowing repeatedly, using the excessive amounts of saliva to carry it back where it's supposed to be.

Three separate things. As long as you don’t put them together, you don’t see the picture they create- it won't happen. You can ignore it. You can push through it until the nausea subsides. ”Deep breaths in. Slow breaths out. Stand up straight, and endure it until it's over. I'm not sick. I'm - not sick, I can't be.”
