(yes. im sorry.)

(Wait so the others can talk with him about the spirits? Because I really don't get why they apparently can't)

yeh//

“N-No,” William sobbed from the corner. He didn’t want to listen to the spirits, they wouldn’t let him sleep and they wouldn’t stop talking… William glanced at the hatch through teary eyes, wishing he would stop crying but reality was too harsh, too emotionally painful to bear.

(Shall we get back to it then?)

(Gtg to bed now, bbl)

(Bye! :)

(I'm sorry I didn't make it clear last night about the thing so here goes.
Bahari and William have grown up around meditators and spirit-catchers, so they believe in and know more about the spirits than any other member of the crew. So when William has his little spirit episode, Bahari understands what he's saying and tries not only to comfort him but to find solutions since she knows about this sort of thing. Other members of the crew don't, so they can talk to and try to comfort William as much as they like but they won't be able to help him with the spirit thing. Clear?)

"Do you want to go talk about them with me in your cabin? It might help." Bahari suggested.

Lucas thought for a moment before nodding. He walked to the cabin, clutching Bahari’s hand as they went.

(One little tweak just for later reference… William didn’t actually grow up around meditators and spirit-catchers or anything. All the things William learned about spirits was from himself, kinda just direct learning)

Oopsadaises. Well, you know what I mean - they're both very centered around them.

Ailith stilled. "Do you want me to come in?" She asked, hearing how distressed he sounded.

William looked at the door. I’m going insane, I’m going insane, I’m going insane. William wrapped his arms around himself and said shakily, “Pl-Please.” He couldn’t go insane, that would only make it worse.
Humans aren’t supposed to be allowed to see and hear us, William…

"Do you want to go talk about them with me in your cabin? It might help." Bahari suggested.

Lucas thought for a moment before nodding. He walked to the cabin, clutching Bahari’s hand as they went.

Ailith walked in, stopping in her tracks when she noticed William. "Hey, hey," she said in a hushed tone, crouching beside him. "Are you- What's happening?"

Bahari and Lucas sat side by side on her bunk, Lucas's hands in Bahari's. She let him cry and sway with emotion, and when all the tears were gone, she risked it.
"Do you really want to see Claus?"

Ailith walked in, stopping in her tracks when she noticed William. "Hey, hey," she said in a hushed tone, crouching beside him. "Are you- What's happening?"

“I’m- I’m scared,” William said, looking at her with the fear showing in his eyes and whispered, “I’m going insane.” He just needed something solid to hold onto, something to stop his fall into the abyss.

Ailith reached out and placed a hand on William's shoulder. "Can you do something for me?" She asked, sitting down in front of him. "I'm going to tell you five things that I can see, and then you're going to do the same. It's going to help ground you. I used to do this with my brother when he had panic attacks."

William nodded his head shakily, “Okay. Okay.” William sat up better and tried to calm his uneven breathing.

Ailith held William's hands in her own. "I see the ground, I see you, I see my shoes, I see your shoes, and I see some rope in the corner. Now it's your turn. Give me five things that you can see. They can be anything, even things that I've already said."

William’s trop tightened on Ailith’s hand. He sniffled and started, “I see my jewelry, I-I see the clouds in the sky, I -hic- I see the hatch to the nest,” William took a deep, yet steadier, breath, “I see your-your shoes. I see…” William looked around, taking another breath. He was a lot better. He blinked his eyes, about to say he saw Ailith’s hair, when the shadowy figure approached him again. He buried his head in his arms, his shoulder’s shaking in silent sobs, “M-Make it g-go away.”

"William." Ailith said firmly. "I need to to focus on me, not the spirits, alright? They can't hurt you right now, I won't let them. What's the fifth thing you see?"

William looked up at Ailith hopelessly, his grip on her hands tightening. She was here, she was real, it was real. It was okay. William whispered quietly as if in fear of the spirits hearing, “I see your hair. It- It’s very nice,” Anything to get my mind off them, just focus on her hair, “Alright.” His breathing evened against, and his grip loosened slightly on her hand and he breathed, “Th-Thank you.”

Ailith tilted her head. "Thank you, and you're welcome. Now, I need you to tell me four things you can hear. I'm not stopping until you're completely calm, alright? Nothing can hurt you here. I can hear your breathing, the sea, the wind, my voice, and the creaking of the boat. Your turn."

“I hear-“ The whispers “I hear the breeze, I hear how my jewelry clinks every time the boat rocks, I hear the dog barking, I hear myself, I hear the noise the wind makes when it flings the ropes in the air.” William swallowed, chewing on his lip, but his nerves starting to calm down.

"Good." Ailith seemed to relax as well. "Three things you can feel. I can feel the floor, the rocking of the boat, and your hands. Now, you go."

“I can feel you hand, I can feel the breeze, I can feel my sandals,” William stopped sniffled and his tears dried up. Things seemed to come into focus slightly.
