Virgil's POV

TW: Panic Attack

I ran to my room and closed the door. I blinked. I know, that doesn't sound very important, but here me out. It looked like blackness was rising up, blocking out my vision. I tried to blink it away, but it kept rising. I started hyperventilating. Cold sweat poured down my face. I felt like cotton was being stuffed in my ears. All sounds were drowned out, except for my shaky breath. I slid down into the corner of my room, and slammed my head against the wall.

When I opened my eyes, the blackness was gone. My vision was still, however, very blurry. I could hear other sounds, such as the rain pattering against the window. But more importantly, I heard my door squeak open.
