Beacon@fedia.io 1 day agoI'm not sure i understand the cough thing, is it because that's what they would do as their biggest sign of upsetness?

Nope; I have no idea why. Cough seems hardwired to my “this person is about to die!” reflex, compounded with “…and they’re transmitting whatever is killing them to me!”
I can’t think of any traumatic childhood events that would have conditioned this response.
