[He remembers standing frozen on a dark city street, willing his legs to move. They never did. They only shook.
He remembers apologizing to Anri because he couldn't bring himself to tell anyone why she was afraid to be alone with him.
He remembers Jinx pinning him to the floor of his own room, Crowley stealing the crowbar out of his hands, Jinx's house burning to the ground, Ryoji's face when he saw Duo's dead body, his legs giving out beneath him not half an hour ago.
Not a pretty picture? It's life altering.
He doesn't know why he's having this conversation with someone he barely knows, but maybe that's why he felt safe calling her in the first place. If she thinks he's pathetic, it's not the end of the world. It's just like any other rejection from any other girl.
Or so he tells himself.
He peeks at her through the edge of his peripheral vision, skeptical frown easing with regret.]

So how do you control them?
