While Mallek is attempting to relieve his anger by repeatedly punching a pillow and hissing ferociously, you come from behind and hive his back a light rub while talking to him in an incredibly sweet voice. he spots you behind him and instead of snapping at you he just throws himself on top of a cushion and starts crying.
Your heart aches at the sight. The pillow he was previously attacking suddenly became one of the only things comforting him at that moment, him keeping a tight embrace around it. You kneel down, and caress his head. A tear-soaked eye looks at your direction, and he lets go of the object to hug you instead. You allow him to weep and sob on your lap. While he feels embarassed for showing such level of mental vulnerability, he feels reassured by your kind words and physical displays of love. You try to deviate his focus from his stress source by chatting with him about all of the drone hackery he’s been doing.
Wiping his tears with his hoodie sleeve, he begins to talk about his passion for the field of information speciality, and as time passes, his anger and distress disappears. Soon he feels like a huge weight has been lifted from him.
