Trauma paused, and didn't really look up. Because he's not actually willing to admit, for either of them, exactly what he's willing to sit through. It's not exactly the healthiest thing he's ever accepted about himself. And he'd accepted a lot of things about himself over the years. You had to when you had the kind of things in his head that he had.

Even when Claudio reached out for him, and even when he came in closer Trauma just continued staring at the floor.

"I know you wouldn't."

Which is probably the point. If he did think it, really, when he wasn't horrifically upset and terrified then he probably wouldn't consider it, but then on the other hand if it was something he really though Claudio would do....then he didn't really want to deal with that.

When he finally does look up he looks like he's trying to parse through about six or seven things at once, not much different from usual really, but he's thinking.
