His head slowly raises however, as Toki's voice raises in pitch- and then rises into screaming. And then he's biting his hand again, oh god,
For something that isn't his fault, it's really feeling like his fault. But he can't do what he did for Maya- beyond the fact that it's a different sort of panic, he still feels like he's the source here. And Orihime is apparently just as lost as he is, standing there as well. Too many things are running through his head, none of them clicking as options, and finally-
In the exact same moment that he scoots himself back- not standing, which means the legs of his pants are going to be soaked by the end of this- a swift, brisk gust of wind blasts through to catch the snow that's been loosened by his absence.
