[Harley doesn't have to see Ken to recognized the sound of his voice, and while there is some crazy shit happening right now, her attention instead focuses on that. While, yes, she is trained to handle this sort of thing professionally, she also understands it personally.
She understands confinement... She understands being strapped down and held against one's will... She's gotten it with a straight jacket and leather cuffs in the past and sometimes, when she was extra good, they didn't include electroshock therapy.]
Ken... Ken, listen ta me... Ya need ta breathe. [Her voice is calm, despite everything happening around them. One might think that this is something she is fairly well versed in and they'd be correct.]
Ya ain't there, Ken... This ain't the Tower. [She didn't know all the horrid he'd faced there, but she was relatively certain it was his current trigger.] Ya ain't there anymore... Focus on me an' the sound of my voice... Ya need ta breathe in slow, okay? I'm going ta count ta ten, and yer gonna breathe in with me... And then exhale the same way, okay?
1...2... [She counts her way up to ten, paying no attention to the others just now. When she hits ten, she begins to count down just as slowly so Ken can slow and time his breathing.]
Well, ain't she just a responsible one when she's gotta be?!
