Oh... [He frowns a little, not sure what to do or how to feel about that. Maybe it wasn't obvious like he thought. Maybe it just felt like it should be because he spent so many years, even already and not even yet in his twenties, screaming silently for help in empty hallways. It's not like any of his siblings could have exactly changed anything about it. When he's not high, he feels like he's always got one foot in a grave, anyway, and nobody can fix that.
He bites his lip and can feel the way he's almost shrinking into himself, knees drawing up, arms curling around his middle. He's too lanky to exactly look small, but he does look smaller like that, crunched in around himself. He looks like he wants to say something, but Klaus doesn't even know what it would be. Where to start. What he even wants to say. He just feels it like something burning inside his chest.]
ik it's a default umbrella (ha) warning w/ Klaus but i like to heads-up when it gets specific <3
