[Ichimatsu has spent so much time being awake when he's exhausted that he's not sure he knows what it is to be tired anymore. He closes his eyes for a brief moment and then reaches his hand around to Karamatsu's face, setting his thumb and middle finger on his eyebrows. He doesn't close his eyes for him, but he will block most of his sight in hopes of coercing him to do so on his own.]
...I know where we're going, chill out for a minute.
[He recognizes the beginnings of a stress-born panic attack when he sees one, and he knows neither of them need Karamatsu to have that. He's not close to Karamatsu, he never has been-- but right now, somehow, that's better. He doesn't know how he's going to face Jyushimatsu, and he's never really been close to Choromatsu, they've just existed around each other in a vaguely respectful presence of mind. Todomatsu was his own confusing little demon, and... Well, he figured none of them knew what to do with Osomatsu. So he focuses on Karamatsu, who came to get him, even being the sibling he's been the absolute worst to most of his life.]
[Because really, even if neither of them had said it, Ichimatsu knew six were about to become five, and he didn't have the time to push anyone away right then.]
