Husk looked at his phone to check the time as he held Angel in his arms. The spider regressed to a headspace equivalent of a newborn and had been crying for about two hours. Husk didn't know why or what had gotten Angel so upset. The caregiver tried everything to stop his tears. Angel didn't need a change, he wasn't sick, and he wasn't hungry. Husk tried putting Angel down for a nap, but that was also unsuccessful since he wasn't tired either. Fat Nuggets tried cheering the little spider with his comfort items (Angel's Rainbow Puppy and Twinkle stuffies and favorite Blue's Clues paci), but to no avail.

"I know, today's just not a good day, is it?" Husk comforted in a soft, hushed tone as he rocked Angel from side to side.

Husk put Angel down on his bed to text Charlie for advice. Angel instantly bawled louder because of this.

"It's okay, Legs. I just gotta text Charlie," Husk said as Fat Nuggets climbed on the bed and walked over to Angel, nuzzling his cheek to calm him down. "She'll help us understand why you're feeling sad."

Husk then texted Charlie on his phone.

Husk: "Hey, Charlie, I need help."

Charlie: "Sure thing, I'm on my way."

The winged cat sighed with relief as he put his phone away. He picked Angel back up and gave him a gentle bounce. A few minutes later, Charlie arrived.

"What's going on?" Charlie asked.

"Do you know how to get littles to stop crying?" Husk questioned. "Fat Nuggets and I've tried everything for Angel and nothing's working."

Charlie scratched her chin as she thought long and hard about Husk's question.

"How long has Angel been crying for?"

"Two hours," Husk replied. "I just... I don't know. I feel like I'm doing something wrong here."

"No, no, it's not that at all," Charlie reassured Husk as she put her hand on his shoulder. "You and Fat Nuggets are doing a good job taking care of Angel while he's little. I think it's because littles who regress to an infantile headspace are similar to actual babies. Sometimes, babies cry for no reason, no matter what we do to soothe them."

"So, what should we do?"

"Just let Angel cry it out and continue comforting him for as long as he needs it. No matter what age, we all need a good cry every now and then. I promise you, it's nothing that you've done."

Husk smiled a bit as Charlie rubbed the still-wailing spider's back and walked out of the cat's room. The caregiver then carried Angel to his rocking chair and sat down.

"You hear that, kiddo? We all need a good cry sometimes, and you know what? It's perfectly okay to cry," Husk said as he began slowly rocking Angel in his arms. "Just let it out. I'm right here, and so is Fat Nuggets. We're gonna be here for you, no matter what."

Fat Nuggets walked over to the rocking chair and climbed onto Angel's lap to join in comforting him. Husk cleared his throat and began to sing.

When you feel a tear in your eye,
it usually means you want to cry,
So if you've hurt and it hurts real bad
Or if you have feelings that are making you sad,
Then it's okay, it's okay to cry.

'Cause I know that when I'm done crying,
I can talk about what's bothering me
And though my face gets wetter,
I feel much better
If I talk about what's bothering me.

Crying is nature's way
Of helping bad feelings go away.
So if you've been hurt or are feeling bad,
Whether you're a kid or a mom or a dad,
It's okay, it's okay to cry.

'Cause I know that when I'm done crying,
I can talk about what's bothering me
And though my face gets wetter,
I feel much better
If I talk about what's bothering me.

Yes, that works for me.

Angel sniffled after the song, his cries subsiding to whines and whimpers. 

"Shh, it's okay, kiddo. You're gonna be okay," Husk smiled softly and continued rocking the spider until he felt better.
