o4 . NECK TRAUMA .
i haven’t talked much about his neck thing outside of IMs so---
it’s about being collared . he was demeaned to being an animal and didn’t learn how to be a human being until he was almost 13 years old ? they used the collar as a way to coax and pull him around and his neck would always chafe and bleed and that’s why there should be a glowing red sign above michio that says :
DON’T!!! TOUCH!!! MY NECK!!!
he’ll violently flinch away and revert to his inherent reclusive behavior . in most cases, it’ll only last a day . closer to a full moon when he’s skittish and wary and refusing to sleep ? it might become a huge issue .
but if he trusts you ? would place his life in your hands ? that day of withdrawn behavior will come and go and he’ll come back to you , bring your fingers to his neck , and tell you that it’s okay .
because he trusts you , so it is .
