[His breath was getting faster, feeling the creeping tendrils of panic choking him again as he tried to find a way out to Hifumi. It was Rei's voice that brought him out, grounding him in the reality that no, he wasn't going to escape that easily.
It was the tone of his voice that got him to actually stop, wobbling back and sliding down onto the wall next to Rei. It was lonely and terrifying in here, and as much as he was scared of the other man, he didn't want to isolate either of them.
He knew a little bit of what it was like to go through these things alone.
Pondering it a bit more, it made sense that this would be someone's greatest fear; waiting, waiting, the neverending terror that whatever comes out of that door meant you were never going to see someone again. Doppo had been lucky that Hifumi only got hit on the arm that one time; it let him go home mollified, certain that Hifumi would most likely be alright.
The pain in his hand started coming back too, and now with the artificial light he looked down at it. There was some blood scabbing from split skin and his thumb looked...not great. He moved it, making a loud hiss before he cut it off with his teeth.
He looked up at Rei. So much of this man was a mystery and it made Doppo not trust him but...he really did sound tired.]
I-I am sorry. For hitting you. I don't have a....I'm not good at holding myself together when I'm scared. I h-hope you weren't hurt....
