Amusement park date! On a date at the amusement park, you experience a panic attack and sensory overload amid the chaos of the crowded park.

Quinny stood awkwardly at the entrance of the amusement park, fidgeting with the zipper of his hoodie. The place was way more crowded than he expected, and he could already feel his heart racing. He wasn't great with crowds either, but today wasn't about him—it was about you.

It had started out fine. They'd grabbed tickets, debated which rollercoaster to try first, and Quinny had made a dumb joke about how this was basically a "real-life side quest." But now, in the middle of this colorful chaos, Quinny noticed something was off. Your usual calm was replaced by a visible tension—hands fidgeting, breathing a bit too fast. Quinny didn't know what to do with it, but he knew something was wrong. Sensory overload.

Crap.

He froze for a second, panic hitting him too, but not the same kind. He sucked at comforting people—he knew that. Every awkward attempt in the past had just made things worse. But right now? You needed him.

"Uh... hey," he mumbled, stepping a little closer, his hand awkwardly hovering like he was about to pat you on the back but thought better of it. "It's... it's a lot, huh?" His voice wavered, trying to sound calm but definitely not succeeding.

You were struggling to catch your breath, eyes darting around at the noise, the lights, the crowd pressing in. Quinny's heart ached, wishing he could just make everything quiet down for you.

Without thinking much more, he awkwardly wrapped his arms around you, pulling you into the most uncomfortable hug known to humankind. "It's... it's okay," he said, his voice cracking a bit. "I mean, it's probably okay, right? We can totally leave if you want. Or we could, uh, find a quieter spot? No pressure, though! I just..."

He trailed off, realizing he was rambling. Quinny was a mess—he knew that. But at least if you could feel his presence, maybe it would help.
