"I'm glad there's no car. I hate long car trips." He could just reply with "tree" to that again, but that would be no fun, so how about... "Tiger?"

Still, he's not glowing anymore. Kotetsu doesn't have many coping mechanisms (yet), but the ones he does have are reliable. He nods emphatically. "B-Better. And, um...thank you." For helping. And not being scared. "I can't do that again for at least another hour." So they both get a bit of a respite.

"So I think I could...even go back to sleep now." And he thinks he might actually need to.
