"Shh shh shh...settle down. Sorry, I practically tackled you, but you can't be freaking out like this. I know it' a lot to go through...you're mourning your humanity, while panicking over what this means for your future, on top of the pain and bizarre new sensations...it's a total overload, believe me, I know. But you gotta get under control, gotta center yourself...if you can't find anything else to hold on to, cling to me. I've got you...we'll get through this together."
