It was only humming, but there was a sweetness to it, and that they both knew the melody was something he faintly found interesting. It was a normal thought that he was pleased to have, wanted more like that instead of being inundated with self berating thoughts and doubt.

Yes. Strange and nice. He took a breath and sighed it out, feeling it becoming easier and easier to bear.
