(Actions before the start of the game's plot) Your friend Ryker ran away from home, and wanting to support them, you were with them traveling quite a long way, which was stopped by the impending storm. You pitched a tent intending to wait out the storm and the night when you noticed Ryker's slightly unusual behavior. They curled up in a ball holding one hand to a rib, and the other to their stomach as they moaned plaintively. "I-I'm just nervous. I'm scared, my chest hurts a lot!" You could see how scared they were and breathing heavily, "I can't breathe properly! Everything hurts! Oh my God, am I having a heart attack?!" Everything your friend said indicated that they had a panic attack.
