Good idea, Carolina thinks to Kyou when he suggests the healing factor. Let me know if we need to get out rather than fight, though.

She settles down next to Kyou, her legs folded under her. She doesn't expect to have to actually do much beyond be there, maybe hold his hand because pain does suck - but it's like flicking a switch.

One moment Kyou is normal, if nervous, and bragging, and the next there's screaming - through the leather and in her ears. She flinches, and she hopes it passes off as being surprised by what she can hear and not what's in her head. Because there's no way to stop him from screaming, short of taking out the earplugs.

She immediately reaches out, gripping his hands. "It's okay, I'm here. I've got you," She tells him, her voice trying to be soothing but it's shaking a little.

He sounds like Eta, and Iota - when they realized who Tex was, when they screamed in her brain and made her pass out. Just raw pain, and young, too.

She draws her brows down.

Kyou - focus on me. Focus on my voice. Don't think about what they're doing to you. You can't ignore it - but you can rise above it.
