Nala's pov: 

I walked over to Hitoshi and we sat on the swings. 

"So, have fun with dad?" 

"Yeah." He looked at me skeptically. "I don't know. I-I don't fit in here. I'm ruining a perfectly good family." I say as I start to tear up. "You all are wasting your time on me!" I started crying as Toshi pulled me into a hug. 

"That's ridiculous. You aren't ruining this family, and it's far from perfect." He tried to comfort me. It wasn't really working. By now I was sobbing, and having a hard time breathing. I was having chest pains, and felt like I was going to pass out. Before I knew it, I was being picked up, and hauled to the car. "Nala, I need you to breathe. Okay?" Hitoshi says. He then starts trying to get me to breathe with him, and it actually starts to work. "Alright, now tell me 5 things you see."

"Y-ou. Th-the car seats. A-Aizawa outside. Eri. A-And the sky."

"4 things you feel."

"Y-you. Th-the seats. My hair in my face. My heart beat."

"Good. 3 things you smell?"

"The car freshener. Your cologne. My hair." 

"2 things you hear."

"Your voice. The people outside."

"1 thing you taste."

"My coffee." I said, calmed down. Hitoshi smiled at me. 

"Are you feeling better?" He asked, and I nodded. "Good. Do you want to go back out there?" He asked. I didn't really want to, so I hesitated, but I didn't want him to be upset with me, so I nodded. We got out, and made our way back to the swings, but Aizawa stopped me. 

"What happened?" He asked me. 

"Nothing." I lied, and continued to walk with Hitoshi. We walked over to the swings and sat and watched Eri play. We all stayed at the park for a few hours, but eventually we went home.
