luke, especially in periods of sobriety, is a very fidgety person. he wasn't always like that, by any means. as a kid, he was very still, as still as one could be. but, as his anxiety grew over time, especially way into adulthood, and he grew a clear need for very tactile methods of self-soothing. in particular, he tends to pick at his lips, bite the skin around his fingers, grip his hair and/or back of his neck when he's very frustrated or overwhelmed, and bounce his leg against the ground (always the left, never the right).
