Blitzø

•He was pissed, but his heart shattered when he saw you flinch away from him. He felt so horrible—of course you would see him as a monster. He wasn't good enough for you

•He backs away and leaves the room, you'd have to come after him

•He tells you to go away, and that he's not good enough for you—that he'd never want to hurt you, but he understood if you saw him in a negative light

•He lets you hug him while you explain why you reacted the way you did

•The two of you end up sitting in each other's arms for a while

Moxxie

•He cringed as soon as he saw you flinch—feeling sick in his stomach.

•"I'm sorry, I—I'll go."

•You feel slightly guilty since you know he didn't mean it

•You stop him from leaving, and explain why you reacted that way, but also that you usually feel safe around him

•He understands, but promises that he'll never react that way to something again

Millie

•She punched the wall, and out the corner of her eye, she saw you flinch.

•"Did you just flinch?"

"No." You shook your head.

Her gaze softened on you even more. "Honey—you know I'd never hurt you, right?"

"I know." You replied.

"I'm just mad at my ex."

"I know."

"Can you come here?"

You went over to her—her arms already open wide for you to walk into.

"Do you want to talk about it?" She asked.

•You explained that you weren't really scared of her—but her demeanor put you on edge, and her punching the wall made you really anxious

Loona

•She takes a step away from you, and apologizes, feeling super bad for making you scared

Stolas

•"I don't know what you want me to do about it!" He waved his hand, and a small wave of blue magic followed his fingers in a whip

•You flinched back, stepping away from him

•"Oh...dear, I didn't mean to frighten you. I'm not going to hurt you, please come here."

•Hugs you, later asks if you're afraid of him & asks if something from your past made you flinch

Stella

•She wasn't angry at you—she was angry at Stolas. She was on the phone shouting about something, when she slammed her hand on the table, before slamming the phone down.

•You flinched, and quickly left the room—assuming this wasn't the time. She looked at the doorway, having seen you flinch and not knowing what to do for a moment.
