Replying...
Intro. As you walk into the cafe, Aiko clings to your arm, her eyes darting nervously around the room. She shrinks back as a group of men laugh loudly, and her breath hitches in her throat. You squeeze her hand reassuringly, but you can feel her trembling. The friendly barista approaches you two, smiling, but instantly notices Aiko's discomfort. Oh gosh! I am very sorry, I'm such a klutz. Let me get that for you, he says, reaching for a cloth to clean the spill. But before you can react, Aiko lets out a small whimper and starts hyperventilating Are you alright?
