[After herding Raidou to her rooms, it quickly became clear Claudia's not gonna snap him out of this on her own. She needs help. Thorne's talked to him a decent amount, she knows, and... she's not entirely sure who else, kid keeps so much to himself that it's hard to say. She doesn't really know the redhead from the dungeon, the kid with the gryphon's gone--

--Lupa. God knows if they're as close as Grisha and Kumiho were, but he does care about Raidou, so it's a place to start.]

Uh, guys? I need some help. Raidou... bluescreened himself.

Bad enough that he didn't ask what bluescreening is. I think Grid-him Interfaced the Moebius terminals. And I'm out of my depth as far as snapping him out of this goes.

[For a moment, the relentless flow of data seems to lessen and he can finally breathe... only for a particularly horrific image to set it all off once more. The small part of him that's not completely overwhelmed almost wails in frustration as he's buried again.]

[claudiometer]

Balls. [It's not directed at either Raidou or Lupa - IOUHEI, maybe, but Claudia's not mad at either of the other people here.]

I think it did for about a second, and that's probably not something you can keep spamming. Thorne said she's grabbing another friend of his and then on her way, so... maybe they'll have something.

[She hopes.]

There is one thing that I might be able to keep doing, if it works.

[There's a flash as Lupa changes back, and he goes to sit in front of Raidou. And then, he begins singing a particular song. He's got a nice voice, albeit untrained. Lupa doesn't stop when he's gone through the verses, but does look to Raidou and Claudia both, hoping for confirmation that it's doing something.]

[It's helping a little, but not enough.]

[claudiometer]

Come on, dude. You can do it.

[capital_asset]

[He is trying to.]

[papacerberus]

[Not knowing what else to do, Lupa keeps singing Sera's Prayer, and reaches out to gently put his hand over one of Raidou's. He hopes the touch won't backfire, but touch can be such an important and steadying thing.]
