[ It's got to be. Anxiety does tug on the corner of Mine's mouth from the lack of an explanation, but it's not enough to let in obsessive ideation. He remembers the first night after getting the linework in and only taking something after. It wasn't that long ago either. ]
Just one?
[ He's receptive. Mine holds the case, open but he hasn't taken anything out. ]
