Work Text:

"The first and most important thing you've gotta do is control your breathing," Joseph says. Dentures aside, he's in better shape now than he was when the family found out about Josuke, so Jolyne figures she better listen. She does her best to imitate his demonstration, slow deep inhales and steady exhales. It's soothing if nothing else, her body literally unwinding as her muscles relax and her mind calms, but if there's any mystic power there she can't feel it yet.

Joseph sees, though. He may be years out of practice, but it would take an idiot or a blind man to miss the grass creeping up around her.
