It seemed like everyone but Brent realised what kind of toll this would have on him.
Brent practically collapsed against Sergei in the elevator up to the third floor, and Aunt Dina reached for him. Her grip was firm on his upper arm, tight, but not punishing. She was offering him support, even as her face remained flat and neutral.
Even as Sergei fully supported him, she made sure to hold him in some capacity. Brent, huffing, wasn't sure what that meant at the time, but he honestly felt like he was losing his mind as they moved up from the basement.
Aunt Dina kept her hold on Brent as she guided them to the bathrooms with showers. They were clearly for a bathroom and gym combo that was nearby. Who it was for, Brent had no idea since there was no one around. Brent was grateful for that, since it meant they didn't have to answer any questions.
