[Man alive, does Zach understand an outburst like the one Regina's having right now. The voices, the crying, the tapping, the footsteps, the growling, the weird animal noises, all of them everywhere like this place wants you to never ever sleep, ever again, slowly descend into madness and never find your way out.
Man, does he know. But it can't help anyone if she hurts herself, so Zach surges forward when Regina throws her backpack away, grabbing her arms gently and pulling her away from the wall.]
Hey, hey, calm down! Throwing a tantrum's not going to help you, an it won't make it stop.
[Fact is, Zach's got earplugs. They're not in the best shape or anything, and he hasn't been using them since he found himself traveling with Regina - he doesn't need her to claw them out of his ears, thank you very much, he knows exactly what kind of girl she is, and she'd totally do that. But he knows that if he offers them to her, he'll never see them ever again.]
Look, you need to calm down. Distract yourself. Don't listen to it, it just makes it worse.
