Best of Stiles Stilinski

46

Stiles: I'm fine. Yeah, aside from the not sleeping, the jumpiness, the constant overwhelming crushing fear that something terrible is about to happen. 

Ms.Morell: It's called hyper vigilance. The persistent feeling of being under threat. 

Stiles: It's not just a feeling though. It's like it's a panic attack. You know, I can't even breathe. 

Ms.Morell: Like you're drowning? 

Stiles: Yeah. 

Ms.Morell: So, if you're drowning and you're trying to keep your mouth closed until that very last moment. But if you choose to not open your mouth, to not let the water in. 

Stiles: You do it anyway. It's a reflex. 

Ms.Morell: But if you hold off until that reflex kicks in. You have more time, right? 

Stiles: Not much time. 

Ms.Morell: But more time to fight your way to the surface. 

Stiles: I guess. 

Ms.Morell: More time to be rescued. 

Stiles: More time to be in agonizing pain. Did you forget about the part where you feel like your head's exploding? 

Ms.Morell: If it's about survival, isn't a little agony worth it? 

Stiles: What if it just gets worse. What if it's agony now and then... then it's just hell later on? 

Ms.Morell: Then think about what Winston Churchill once said: If you're going through hell... keep going.
