It's dark outside and he's sitting in the crows nest alone. Koa has been struggling for days but he refuses to get help. Most people aren't on the ship, to be honest he doesn't know if there's anyone on the deck. He's progressing on trying to make a prosthetic horn to make it look better. Everything is too much. All he wants to do is make this and not deal with the pain he's in. He starts breaking, he drops the work in progress down the hole as his hands are shaking  "fuck" he doesn't want to get it. It means moving from one of his few safe spaces. He just wants to be safe and he doesn't want anyone to be bothered by him. He curls up, he's shaking. He can't stay grounded.

"Compass, yer okay" Kel's voice breaks through his spiralling. Koa doesn't know when ze got there he doesn't understand why zeir is here. Kel helps Koa grounded and calm him down. "Let's go down alright?" Koa nods they both head down. Kel walked Koa to his room something about it being dark and making sure he is safe.

He is alone in his room which isn't great for him. He's in his hammock with no idea where Kal is. He's struggling alone. He needs Kal.
