[There was a time Gokudera had tried to remove his own collar with the intent to end his own suffering. He’d fought with so much determination to experience a second death, to end his exhausting fight with the Pet Ring when Aurora had stepped up to help him.]

[It’s easier to open up to people when they just let him feel whatever he’s going through. This worrigami helps him accept his concerns, to visualize what weighs him down and, seeing Ochako’s monster, he knows he isn’t alone.]
[The boy looks up at her as his hands are taken firmly and he listens to her, giving a gentle nod. His eyes drift back down, shoulders slumping. He could really use a hug.]
