( Robin shakes her head and takes a deep breath, but she can't let it out slowly. It just comes out in a huff and she has to suck in another breath to replace it. )

No it's not. It's not okay, it's not okay that I saw that and now I know your business, it's not okay that that happened to you, or to her, or that Alice and I are insensitive assholes, none of this is okay!

( She has to gasp for air because she's rambled out all of her breath tearfully. It's not so much that she's devastated even though she kind of is. It's more that she's feeling overwhelmed by everything she's been seeing and she's terrified of what other people might see that should belong to her. )

Steve is coming. I was at that party. Now I'm in a stairwell because first I saw Chrissy's visions of Vecna and then Alyssa getting attacked and some guy murdering her attacker and bleeding all over her and then you with—and it's just a lot. It's just a lot, it's fine, I'm fine, I mean...

( Another gasp for breath. )

I'm sorry.

Robin, you're not an insensitive asshole. But I do think you're going to pass out if you don't take a minute and try to breathe. [ His voice is soft and a little jokey, hoping that will help her calm down a little.]

[ He's glad to hear that Steve is coming for her. He doesn't want her to be alone right now.] You're not fine, but that's okay. It is a lot. It's a lot for anyone.

It's okay. Don't be sorry, just breathe, okay?

( In spite of herself, Robin lets out a sound that sounds like it's caught between a sob and a laugh. )

Maybe if I pass out, by the time I come to again, I'll have calmed down.

( Still, she does as she's told and takes another deep breath, letting it out slowly and nodding. )

I'm still sorry, though. Really.
