Day 10ish
(It's high time I did this.)
[Oh no, someone is gearing up for one of Those Speeches. Because one of their new arrivals ticked off a box in his head, and Sam's asking for training helped.]
[And he's tired of walking on eggshells.]
(I don't know how many of you were there when I found out what my Symbiote does. I sort of wish I hadn't. But. I can't change that.)
[Yeah apparently it made him the Space Hulk. And it took at least two people to keep him from ripping someone's face off.]
(What I can do is control it. I just need to know where to start.)
(So I'm taking a lead from Sam Wilson. Asking if anyone is willing to help. I... don't think I can promise no one will get hurt, but if we're careful, maybe it'll just be me.)
[And he can live with that.]

[He lets some of his own actual warmth filter through -- the honesty of the admission. He does think highly of the people who've come to offer help. Aoba is one of them.]
[... even if Aoba's problem is the reason he's aware of this at all.]
(I... yeah. That's exactly what it's like. From what I remember.)
[But he can't just leave it at that. He can't let this go. Not like this. Not after the offer of help and their other conversation. Something in his tone strengthens, resolved -- responding to the fear, no matter how quickly it's put down.]
(You're going to stay you. If I have anything to say about it. Okay? Remember that.)

[ Shiro's reassuring warmth is... nice. He enjoys it like he enjoys Nirad's closeness, and his thoughts respond in kind. Warm, open, grateful, momentarily unafraid. ]
After we talked last, when I'm with you, I... I don't feel so afraid of losing myself anymore. Thank you for your honesty, Shiro.
[ Before revealing any more embarrassing feelings, Aoba gently withdraws from the connection. From where he is, he releases a content sigh with a smile. A brief moment of honesty and peace, as he faintly listens in on the of the chatter in the Nest...
Before everything flipped upside-down and went to shit. :) ]
