Music thrummed through her headphones, drowning out the noise blaring around her. A familiar tightening in her chest warned her that it would get worse before it got better. Her own fault, perhaps. She knew better than to be foolish enough to throw herself in large crowds without a safety net. How pathetic she would look if panic consumed her over something as small as going out on her own.
[break][break]
Focus. Breathe. In, out. In, out. Throwing herself out in the deep end had been her idea, and besides, there was a high likelihood that she would encounter someone she recognized, even if it was just a face from her grade. With it being Sunday, surely plenty of other students wanted to visit the tower and have some fun? Sound logic. She should've just stayed in her room.
[break][break]
Five minutes. It felt like forever, standing there gazing out over the city in self-induced fear. A thousand thoughts raced through her mind as she tried to drown out the rest of the world. Why had she so badly wanted to do this in the first place? To prove someone to herself? To get over the issues that hindered her every day life? Because that *#&@ in the chat room dared her to? All of the above?! It shouldn't be so hard to take a selfie at Tokyo Tower!
[break][break]
Her head throbbed. Fingers twitching, she reached up to take off her headphones at last. Too little, too late. The tightness in her chest exploded, blurring her vision entirely. Shaking legs and a constricted throat did her no favors. She grasped the nearby bar, doing everything in her power to stay upright.
[break][break]
"Pathetic," she hissed under her breath. "How annoying."

Everyone needed to visit Tokyo Tower at least once in their lives. Shiki made plans prior to hang out in Japan’s second tallest structure with friends from school. Much to his chagrin, things didn’t go exactly according to plan. While waiting for the company in question to arrive his phone began vibrating in his pocket. Bringing it out to see behold a text message from the missing people in question caused his brows to knit into a v-shape. Something or whatever came up so they had to meet up at another time. Seeing as he was already there, Shiki was not going to waste a good trip. Even if it the fun had been sucked right out of it having to hang out alone. He didn’t know how he was going to do it but goddammit he was going to have fun. He should’ve come to accepting last minute plans would come unexpectedly but he was sorely disappointed either way. Could anyone truly blame him? He didn't think so. Unfortunately, it seemed like his day was going from sour to utterly depressing. He noticed out of the corner of his eye a young woman barely hanging on to the guard rail. A couple other people took note too, but only kept their distance, whispering if she was okay. Nobody dared to approach her. "For heaven's sake." He said with an exasperated sigh under his breath. The Mato Azabu third-year walked to the woman. Slowly, he placed his hand gently on her shoulder, but should she react in panic, he would jerk his hand away. "Miss? Miss? Can you hear me? Are you okay?" @nabongsun MADE BY ★MEULK

One beat, two beats, three beats. She'd let herself get off track, off course. Letting herself be antagonized by someone with the lamest retort in all of the internet's history--"Girls don't play video games!"--did what for her, exactly? Nothing, that's what, except for making things complicated. Chasing circles in her head, losing bits of air with each passing moment, coldness spreading through her limbs--
[break][break]
"Miss? Miss? Can you hear me? Are you okay?" It was the second of the three impulses that she settled with instantaneously. The first, allowing her legs to give out, only agitated the situation and her nerves. The third, spinning around to bury her face against the stranger to attempt to shut out the world temporarily, would give her too much to explain later. The second, shaky as it was, let her catch her breath. Action in inaction.
[break][break]
"Sorry," she hiccuped. Her shoulders shook with each bubble that rose up. She lifted her head, took another breath, and swallowed down what had rose in her throat. "I... sorry, do you..." No, fumbling didn't help. "Do you have any water on you, by chance?"

The moment his hand touched her shoulder Shiki felt the vibrations of shaking coming off her. He was just about ready to place his other hand on her to help keep her steady when he saw her knees buckle beneath her weight. Yet before his hands had even a second to twitch the girl had spun around and buried her head against the crook of his shoulder. He knew it. She was having an anxiety attack. Sweat began to form on his hands. What did he learn in psychology class? He didn't anticipate what he learned the other day would actually apply in his every day life. Keep calm. Don't make assumptions about what the person needs. Ask. "It's gonna be alright. Deep breaths, deep breaths. Concentrate on your breathing. Stay in the present."Water? A free hand took a dive into his school bag to pull out his bottled water. Unopened as of yet, buying it in preparation for long walks around the city with friends. But his friends bailed on him so he offered it to the girl. He nudged the girl gently and motioned for a more remote part of the tower. "Let's move to a bench." Out of eyesight from other attendees looking at them strangely. He offered one of the unoccupied benches so she could sit. Shiki would join beside her so she could catch her breath. "What else do you need miss?"@nabongsun MADE BY ★MEULK

The bench shined like a beacon in her clouding vision. She offered no protest, not in the slightest, and sank down onto it. Stay in the present. The cool temperature of the air, the feeling of something solid, the rush of water down her throat; all of those things were vital assets to keep her rooted.[break][break]
How much of a failure had she become to be like this? It was no wonder her brother cast her aside.[break][break]
To her credit, the tears that threatened to rise ebbed away with each passing breath. "A minute. That's all. I'm so sorry." Sixty seconds could change the world, though it was unlikely to change the amount of apologies she wanted to utter at the moment. Here she was burdening a complete stranger because she stepped outside her comfort zone even a little. Going to school should have been enough, it should have been. Letting her pride get the best of her ruined too much.[break][break]
"Thank you," Na Bong-Sun whispered when she felt that she could focus on something beyond her deep breaths. Half of the bottle had been drained while she sat there, something she noticed immediately. "I feel a bit better now. It doesn't... last that long when I can get myself to calm down." She breathed out slowly, straightening her back. "Let me buy you another bottle of water. Please? You helped me a lot right there. I don't think I would've been able to move if you hadn't..." Come over. It didn't dawn on her that she forgot to finish the sentence.
