[Ken's voice isn't the only thing lacking in certainty. He seems to be timid down to his very core, and despite calling Tetsuo's name Ken sucks in his breath once he hears his name called. He finds his hands starting to shake and he clasps them tightly to keep himself steady, but he can't do anything about the way the shaking reaches his shoulders and his legs too. He focuses on the ticking inside him, Kala-Nemi's constant sound. It's okay. It's going to be okay. Kaneda is here. Tetsuo won't hurt him.
