The spectacle of Kailo running out of the auditorium stunned June out of his inner monologue, eyes widened as they followed her figure dashing away. Despite her tendency to talk big and act even bigger, it was abundantly clear that she was still a scared teen at the end of the day, just like the rest of them. No one seemed to know what to do as they all watched her burst through the line of guards, not daring to break the silence that had fallen over them.
June's initial thought was to do the exact same and let his new friendly acquaintance fall apart in front of them, because really, this wasn't his problem to deal with. But then he thought back to the pep talk he had literally just given himself, promising not to let this place break them apart, and he swore under his breath. Ah, fuck. Okay. Fine. Here fucking goes. He stood up and shot the principal an apologetic smile, meeting her eyes in a way that he hoped conveyed his intentions, before jogging after Kailo and slipping through the doors. The guards tensed up and began to move towards him, but stopped once June held his hands up and jerked his chin towards the crying girl in their arms. With a disgruntled sigh, the guard holding Kailo back let go and stepped away, still remaining within arm's reach in case the duo tried anything.
"Hey," he breathed, crouching down next to her. She didn't seem to be in any state to have a conversation, so he did the first thing he could think of; scooting so he was in directly front of her, June gathered her in his arms and pulled her into a hug. His protective nature took over as he made sure she could cry into his hoodie if she wanted to, but he didn't hold on too tightly in case she wanted to get away. "Breathe, Kai. Cry if you need to, but keep breathing."
