I think the call to Seiichi helped, though I believe knowing Eiji and Kuranosuke aren't angry with me helped even more than that.
I don't quite understand the nature of these anxiety attacks but I know I cannot let myself fall prey to them, nor can I let any other become aware of them. Information is power and how many of those on campus would love to put that particular ammunition to use against me?
Quite a few, I would think.
Then, again, if word got out then Saeki would worry and I believe he has done enough of that to last him a lifetime.
