I don't want anyone else be out just because of me. E-even though it sounds like someone is already coming to get me anyway.

Uh, my name is Teddy. If it turns out you need some help or something feel free to contact me.

A-ah, thank you.
[A pause.]
I apologize for being such a bother to you. I'm Reim Lunettes.

[The man's nervousness brings distaste to the forefront of his voice.]
There's no reason to be afraid. You're indoors. There's nothing to fear.

I don't think I need anything. Actually, I need to calm down is what I need to do.
