Ventus looks stricken. He wants to shout back doesn't even have a reply. Not to this kind of anger and pain. He stares at Vanitas for a second, before bringing a sleeve up to rub his eyes, blinking rapidly.
Nobody has every really talked to Ventus like this before. The utter rejection and anger in Vanitas's voice scares him almost as much at it hurts him. It's something he honestly can't understand.
At first he turns towards the door suddenly, it hands on its hinges unsteadily but Ventus opens it all the same. His heads a swirling mess. He wants...he wants to get someone to deal with it. Aqua or Terra or Eraqus, just offset this awful interaction and have them fix it. He wants to run away. But as he turns Vanitas coughs, harsh and ugly and wet and Ventus feels his hand shake on the door handle.
"I'm sorry." He says, quiet and unsure. What is he sorry for? He can't even tell, but seeing the other boy like this is upsetting. What he's saying is upsetting. Ventus wants it to stop.
Vanitas is still wheezing. Ventus takes his hand off the door and flexes it uncomfortably. He still wont even look at the other boy. The old and horrible floor is much better. "When I have trouble breathing T-...people say its good to count backwards. I get nightmares."
