[The man was suddenly like a cat dropped in a bathtub, his joints and muscles locking up as Abel put his arms around him to stable him. Touch by anyone, anything, had been an issue stamped on his visage since he was an abandoned child. They refused him bodily contact, so he in turn refused all others.]
Plea--!
[With his heart fluttering now like the rapid beats of a hummingbird, and trying to wriggle free, his body overwhelmed itself.. and decided to shut down to save him from shattering.
A defense mechanism of sorts--He lost all color in his face fainted in the priest's hold.]
