Though the usual method of breaking these episodes is a slap, a touch to the knee is enough to at least get a reaction. For once, that reaction isn't lashing out, though after a quick, hard inhale and a couple blinks to reorient himself, he does lose control of his breathing into short, shallow gasps. He looks down sharply, chin nearly to his chest, hiding his face in hair, and both hands fist up on the cushion to either side of him.

He's not entirely sure where he is, yet, only that someone is touching him and that's never a good sign.
