Okay so I was just rereading SDSTB for funnzies (also because its really good) and I couldn't get this angsty scenario out of my head
What if in chapter 1 when sun and moon showed up you used your mana one them? Like your still in the middle of a panic attack during the whole thing, you've gained NO confidence or emotional stability. You just on instinct used your mana to bound them up (like when you escape at the market). So your on the ground fully panicking. Tears stremming down your face, yelling, hyperventilating (maybe holding your hurt buzzing ears) while sun and moon just have to sit there watching. Strugging to get out but when they do, you panic more, and that makes the bines stronger. They desperately wish they could hold you and comfort you (especially after so long) but can't.
(I'm sorry, this is probably so bad but I had to get this out.It's been stuck in my head!)
Ooooo! This is intresting!!!
So what I see happenings is they would undeniably still try to calm you down from their restraints while also using their own mana to chip away at the bindings.
Moon would try to get you to look at him, being as gentle as he can in guiding you to meet his gaze. His hypnosis can help if you just let it, poor thing.
“Starlight, please my sweet. Please look at me? Glare at me, spit at my feet, curse me, cut me with your power—just look at me.” His eyes swirl, “I can make it all go away~.”
When that doesn’t work, he starts trying to release himself and Sun while the latter tries his own hand at calming you down.
He’ll start telling you small and pleasant memories he has of you. Then he’ll switch to the topic of the goings-ons back in the capital.
And finally, he’ll talk about you.
Sweetheart, I am so proud. So proud. You have grown up into such a wonderful and lovely person. You’re stronger, smarter. Oh my dear you are simply amazing.” He offers a small smile even though tears prick at his eyes, “You’ll be okay my little sunspot. You are the strongest person I know…this won’t conquer you. Nor will it ever will.”
Might write more about this, but TADA!!
Hope you enjoyed!
