an exasperated sort of exhale akin to what should be a chuckle of relief leaves pocket's mouth. they're glad that the sight, ghastly and foreboding as it may be, is not a figment of their imagination for once. oftentimes pocket can't tell if what they see is a fabrication of their * cursed, sleep-addled brain or based in * reality. living in the cursed apple means that both could be true - making pocket's life all the more confusing and stressful than it ever * needed to be.
❝ the case is mine - i can't tell you anything else, but * trust me. that's a lot to ask - i'm sorry. ❞
pocket's expression is muddled and rapidly-changing - they're * anxious, which honestly seems like a base emotion considering they stand at 5'6" and literally shake with anxiety. they do pat the case in an attempt to reassure him, though its * unclear if its for their own sanity or for 404's relative sanity. they shrug, still at a relative loss of words.
❝ the case can help, i * can help. just ... tell me what to do. ❞
