Summary
Trauma did funny things to people, Ranboo found.
He saw it in himself whenever he saw any reference of repressed memories that seemed to be building up in the back of his mind, threatening to all come loose and bury him in an ocean of horrible forgotten events that could break him in an instant.
He saw it in Tommy whenever he took damage, how he would panic and flee even if there was no danger because he was far too scared to remain when the threat of death was too horrifying to grasp, especially a second time.
And he saw it in Tubbo whenever loud noises or Jshlatt were involved, how the boy shrank in on himself and instantly went quiet and submissive, and how he clung so tightly to those he loved at the slightest hint of danger.
Ranboo knew that he and his friends had been through some heavy stuff, but he and Tubbo never really talked about it. They both had their secrets, and that was fine. He didn't want to push Tubbo to talk about things he wasn't comfortable with, and in his case, he couldn't physically talk about a lot of what had happened anyway. However, Ranboo had a feeling their buried trauma wouldn't remain in the past for long. A storm was brewing; the only question was when it would hit.
