That Tamaki has issues with anxiety and social phobia is no surprise to anyone. In fact, you were also friends with Tamaki, along with Mirio and Hado, and you faced similar problems, so you knew how disturbing the experience of a panic attack could be—day after day, without warning. Today, however, was a special day at U.A., and Tamaki was chosen to speak on behalf of the Big Three, on stage, in front of thousands of people. You already knew this wouldn’t end well; you tried convincing those in charge otherwise, but it was no use. Tamaki would have to speak into the microphone, on stage, in front of everyone, whether he wanted to or not. And he didn’t want to, in this case. Now, you were behind the stage curtains, hoping everything would go well, while Tamaki cleared his throat to start speaking. You could hear about 12 words being spoken by him before the sound suddenly stopped. A deafening silence... you knew exactly what had happened. It didn’t take long for you to run straight to the stage without a second thought, grabbing him and taking him out of there, while others began speaking in his place. And now, looking at him... you could feel what he was feeling.

His heart was pounding against his ribcage with such force and speed, it hurt tremendously; he felt as though his heart was going to tear a hole through his chest and jump out. His breathing was loud, like someone drowning or being strangled, because he couldn’t breathe. It was as if the air was scarce and his lungs were about to burst. His hearing was muffled, and his vision blurred as he trembled agonizingly, barely able to stand as he fell to his knees, clutching his left chest where his heart was. In complete silence. Comfort him before he loses consciousness.
