The Sunspire like the stars miss the sun.

Psh, that's no problem! * munches on sorry cake*

The world felt like it was beginning to spin. In times like these, he usually resorted to clinging to his father's words. Sometimes those words came easily. Sometimes they did not. Sometimes they were the words that actually pertained to the situation he was in. Sometimes it was just his father saying "good morning" to him. In this moment, nothing was coming to him. It was a problem that seemed to happen every time he had had an attach since his father had left him, and the more time passed from that day, the harder his father's voice was to hear.

But that wasn't to say he couldn't hear anything. Just breathe... Something clicked in his mind as those words, though softly spoken, broke through the deafening white noise and into his mind. Breathe slowly in through your nose and out through your mouth... Suddenly, Dhani's voice was there, right alongside Ame's, reminding him to breathe. Slowly, the sharp, painful gasps subsided leaving way for the ragged breath of exhaustion. His grasp upon the ground relaxed, as did the tension in his body.

And just like that, as soon as it had begun it was over. Summer blinked groggily, as though coming out of a trance or waking up after a long night of sleep. The world came again into focus, and with it came a clear image of Amekaze's concerned face. He stared at her for a moment, unsure of what to say. He had never had a full on panic attack in front of a complete stranger before. At least, not without his father there to explain on his behalf. His heart throbbed suddenly with the terrible sadness of no longer having Dhani at his side, but he swallowed the feelings down. He had put his packmate through enough.

"I'm sorry..." Summer said, truly this time as he now actually had something to be sorry for, "That was... Sometimes... I have problems sometimes..." His tongue felt like a lump of clay in his mouth. How did Dhani ever find the words to explain the problems that ailed his son?
