Shh. You're not dying. Just breathe with me, okay? In--
[He breathes deep. He doesn't count to any particular number, he just goes slow until his lungs feel full. Then, he lets it go just as slowly.]
--and out. In...and out. I've got you.
["You don't need to be sorry about anything."
If Min starts to veer into hyperventilation, Ryan will just start breathing with him again and modeling what he needs to do. A beat of quiet falls between them.
Then, Ryan hums. So soft it's more whispered than sung.]
...So you feel like you are full of flaws Because you're not used to having claws You've started cracking at the seams What the hell does all this mean?

...So you feel like you are full of flaws
Because you're not used to having claws
You've started cracking at the seams
What the hell does all this mean?
Relax and breathe...
[In, and out. In...and out.]
...'cause you're a squid with me.
