Everything is..anxious right now so pardon me while I envision... Lylas Ben who helps you deal with your anxiety by taking away your senses. The first time it happens, you don't think anything of it. You're picking at your nails nervously and he holds both your small hands in his large one, keeping you from making yourself bleed. When you are over stimulated from the party, he covers your ears to muffle the noise while making you recite the alphabet backwards or your favorite poem without taking a breath. Soon, you get combinations of senses taken away...ear buds that have brown noise on so loud you can't hear your own heartbeat coupled with a blindfold...hands and feet tied so you can't move matched with a room so dark you can't see your own nose. And it all culminates in a complete removal of all your senses...black out hood, bondage sleeves for your arms and legs, ocean waves in your ear buds, and the cold basement room your parents forgot about. His own personal nervous caterpillar, wallowing in fear at first but giving over to acceptance and then contentment.
