You and Sal have been dating for longer than a year, so he has learned to trust you. He doesn't wear his mask around you because he's comfortable enough.

It's the middle of the night and you quietly get out of bed to use the bathroom. When you get back, you see Sal sitting up in bed, his breathing short and rapid along with tears flowing down his face. A panic attack.

"It happened again.." he says, his breath hitching a lot. The nightmare he keeps having about his mom to passed.
