[Riddle keeps being surprised on just what Jamil is willing to share with him. Surprised and perhaps... grateful, in some sense. It's the closest thing to an explanation he's gotten for his own episodes since he'd gotten here.]

That... does sound similar to what I've been dealing with.

[Hesitation again, and then:]

The other day, I was talking with a couple other inmates. One of them really got under my skin.

But, just as I got really angry, it was... like you said. Intense fear that came out of nowhere. I didn't feel threatened or unsafe, or any sort of thing that should cause me to be scared, and yet it happened anyway.

And then they suggested it might be a panic attack.

[Another pause.]

Ones that.. keep happening when I become infuriated.

[He does wait patiently, staring up at his ceiling as he does so. He'd always known he was quick to get passionate, but with these happening, it was becoming painfully apparent just how often he'd lose his cool.

Getting triggered twice within such a short period of time really had wiped him out.

He turns his attention back to the phone when Jamil speaks again.]

Yes. You mentioned overuse of magic, as well as stress and a lack of rest.
