It- it is hardly like I am unaccustomed to anger and frustration.

[Those are some of the few emotions he knows he's capable of! There shouldn't be tears.

At least he's calming down. Outwardly, at least.]

Human emotion often comes with [a slight flick of one hand] physical symptoms.

It's best just to consider them a normal part of the process.

[This is a deeply hypocritical statement.]

R-right.

...You are saying it will be less intense, going forward? [Since he only advised Sebastian to stay inside for the day.]

Perhaps not less intense, but less shocking. Like anything, you get used to it.

[He frowns, thoughtfully.]

And I don't think it would be a good use of your time to isolate yourself for the entire duration of the experiment, either. Just give yourself a little time to experience your feelings without worrying about anyone seeing you before you venture out.

It would be a perfect, utter waste of time isolating myself for the entirety of this hateful thing--

[He stands up.]

Will you... please excuse me? [~~This takes place in Hakkai's cabin.~~ It's not a dismissal; more of a request to be alone for a while.]

I will. [He stands in turn, offering a small polite bow.]

But... call me if there's anything you need.

[Sebastian gives a brisk nod and doesn't even manage a bow before he quits the room.

Hakkai will get his handkerchief back later, washed and pristinely ironed.]
