![Sketch comic of Audrey and Hellen waiting for unspecified thing or person before they go on an expedition out of apartment 33. Hellen looks at Audrey, noticing that she keeps tamping her feet on the ground and sweating like she's nervous and can't stop moving her body around.
Hellen speaks, "You're restless."
Audrey startles, looking at her. Hellen continues, "If you need something, say so now."
Audrey looks away, her message from a can says, [It's nothing, I'm just anxious to get out there and help.]
Hellen retorts, "Distractions can be lethal."
Audrey looks back up, still sweating up a storm and eyeing Hellen with concern.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ddsbxtbenlruutbln7oihnac/bafkreigllx3u4joopittprcbmqzqbat5tsol32pptqx27mqw6nkeryeahm)
![Audrey's message is long and broken into two chunks. For the first her expression is a frown as her many eyes furrow.
[I'm being honest about being anxious! Though it's way more intense than it should be. I used to take medication but...]
Going into the second part of the message Audrey pulls her worried expression into an embarrassed smile, one of her feet pawing at another leg like one would grab at their arm.
[You can see why that's an Issue. Hah. And I would do something else but I can't smoke, or use any sort of weight or whatever to get my mind off it!]
Hellen stares off straight forward, considering. Then her eye darts back toward Audrey. Hellen says, "I see. ... What do you mean, "weight?"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ddsbxtbenlruutbln7oihnac/bafkreiat6i755v6w62txntkpse24dwv7ggfd6zk5mqwnppecp2dsvcny7q)
![Audrey shuffles, thinking to herself, "this is so stupid agh agh" while her message reads [Oh it's stupid I just used to use a weighted blanket to ground myself it'd be useless now.]
Audrey freezes up when Hellen puts a hand on her side. She's confused by the development while all Hellen says at first is "Hm."
Hellen says, "We have a few minutes before we leave. I could help. If pressure would calm you."
Audrey remains frozen as the sounds of clank, thunk, thunk signal that she's dropped three messages in quick succession.
In the shape of the cans themselves her messages read, in order:
[HELLEN WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHAT HUH]
[OH. WAIT. Like a hug oh god ignoer the first one]
[jesus christ ignore both of those (an illustration of a stick figure burying its face in its hands) I'm stupid this is embarrasing. fuck. yes i'd like that.]
Hellen goes hmph in response, the closest she's gonna get to letting out a laugh.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ddsbxtbenlruutbln7oihnac/bafkreif5qobsjrsto5ve44qndzpboyyvdmmlt6jc4swwm2zyqhuqbeayde)
