This is like the exact opposite reaction from the one he's trying to get. Katsuya you are the worst at this. He just sits there, kind of stunned. Not sure what to do or say. He nods numbly when she brushes past him to go to the bathroom to wash her face and hide from him.

"God. Dammit." He leans forward and thunks his head against the armrest of the couch. He wishes Maya were here. She'd know how to make this right. He can't do anything. Not even comfort a friend when she needs him the most. Why is he so bad at this?

It's not like he can just magic Loki here so she could be happy. So she could at least have the most important person in her life around and okay. He can't even go rescue her mother because Verity doesn't want to force it on her. There is literally nothing he can do that will make her feel better.

Thunk, thunk, thunk.
