You Have a Panic Attack

Hi all! So this chapter is just a reaction as well as what they would do to calm you down. Thanks for the request!

Phoenix:
-he would be a bit nervous at first. He's never seen you like this before
-his first instinct is to try to hug you
-(if you lean into his arms) he immediately feels relief in knowing that he's able to comfort you and be there for you both physically and emotionally
-(if you freeze or pull away) he has a rush of guilt wash over him. Do you not need him? Is he not able to help you? He sits down next to you, trying his best to push those thoughts aside, before doing goofy little voice impressions and sound effects to try to make you smile

Edgeworth:
-sure, he's never seen you have a panic attack before, but he's witnessed them once or twice. This isn't the chapter to delve into the reason why.
-it still hurts him to see you like this, sitting on the floor, shaking and wrapping your arms around yourself
-he knows who you are. If he were to start panicking, what good would that do for anyone? He remains calm and sits down on the couch next to you.
-He begins talking about his day openly, something he rarely does, in an effort to give you something external to focus on

Apollo:
-P A N I K
-he immediately freaks out, pacing back and forth throughout the room a few times before deciding to just go for it and give you a big bear hug
-you start to recoil, but he holds on even tighter, trusting that you need him in this moment
-his arms lighten up, and he plays with your hair and messes with your clothing to try to distract you

Klavier:
-for whatever reason, I feel as though Klavier would be the clumsiest as far as how to react to this type of situation
-his primary way of comforting you is to sing to you, but if you dont respond well to it, he is genuinely at a loss. What next? What's plan B?
-he eventually settles for stroking your hair and doing his best to get you to look at him. Surely that would help calm you down

Kristoph:
-ah, Kristoph. The man might as well have been a statue
-when he peered into the room and saw you in that state, he didn't dare try to advance. He might not be too practiced in caring for others, but he at least understands that everyone responds differently during panic attacks
-so instead of trying to solve the puzzle so to speak, he simply closed the door and walked away

Blackquill:
-as you could imagine, Simon is very experienced when it comes to having a deeper understanding of others' emotions. He has had many episodes of his own, even
-he sits down next to you. Silent.
-you wouldn't know it until later, but he was doing his best to read you. He watched you try to control your breaths. He noticed your hands gripping your clothing tightly.
-who knows how, but when next time eventually came around, he knew exactly what to do to console you

Godot:
-Diego immediately goes into prevention mode. What caused this? What can I do to make sure this never happens again?
-he gets so caught up in trying to predict your feelings and protect you that way that it almost slips his mind that he should be focusing on the right here, right now
-his mind snaps back into the present and he looks down at you, noticing how small and helpless you seem in that very moment
-he kneels down next to you, whispering in your ear, "everything will be alright, I'll take care of you"

Nahyuta:
-when he got home and heard your cries, his instinct was to find where you were as soon as he could. Not that it was a difficult task, he knew exactly where you would be
-he took one look at you and frowned softly. You've been so worked up lately, and you haven't been quite ready to open up to him.
-he sits across from you on the floor, crossing his legs and taking a deep breath. He speaks what could only be Khura'inese for a few moments before saying a long prayer for you aloud
