[It's not the quiet that stops him. He's seen Raidou quiet so many times. Not the rage of his cold fury within the heat of battle Katsuki hadn't been able to stop this time. Not even the space around him he's seen the summoner put between himself and others as a comfortable shield until he's ready to let it down and allow people in.
Loneliness. A morbid longing coloring a tiny corner in a massive complex in a world none of them belong to. Raidou looks so small right now, huddled in a position Katsuki's never seen him in before. No more confident summoner, no more stoic lone wolf, no the happier young man he's seen emerge from his shell for so many months. Silence stretches heavy with emotions, loss and lonely threading within its space until each step into the room feels cloying. It's only a few paces, but it feels as if it's forever to reach him.
They were ripped from their homes. They eventually made a new one. And now that was ripped from them once again. Memories and emotions connected with those items have been torn out, flapping wildly in space... Katsuki lowers himself in front of Raidou's huddled figure, knees settling just shy of his toes. Blocking him from the empty room and open doorway. Filing his space even if he's just another body in this vast planet.
He reaches his working arm out and rests his hand atop Raidou's knees. A simple touch right now. They don't have to say anything. He only wants his friend to know he's not alone.]
