[It didn't hurt, did it? the visiting ghost asks, a spike of worry, almost anxiety creeping into Atem's heart. He doesn't want that...he can tell it was scary for Komaeda but isn't sure why, because for Atem, there's nothing scary at all about being what he is.
Being a shade makes Atem feel comfortable, confident, and safe.
So it's a surprise, a worrying one, when he feels all that fluttery panic, and it's a good thing it relaxes after a moment or two. Atem nudges at Komaeda, a feeling that's more emotion than touch, like a dog nosing its owner out of lingering worry.]
