Everest
'How...?' Glancing at the bunny ears around his shoulders and then back to Mateo, Ever frowns beneath the wet blanket of his confusion. "Weren't...you just wearing this?" He wonders, before glancing at the ground at shaking his head. It's filthy, after all. 'Can we go home? Please Mateo, I don't want to be.." Vaguely he gestures around them. "..here anymore."
At home he could let his panic out. He could have a proper scream into his pillow, could sit in the shower under freezing water, could burn his tongue on hot tea to distract his mind. At home he could look at pictures of his mother and cry himself to sleep. But out here where people were already starting to stare (it now looked like Everest was just on some rough trip, especially with the addition of Mateo's coat), Ever was going to have a very different sort of breakdown.
