[Yeah, Irahl gets both better and worse while Vincent is away. It's both.
On one hand, it's a relief to have room to be a little bit less okay, so he's better able to grapple with the strangling feeling wrapped around his chest. On the other hand, however, Vincent continuing to be bafflingly patient and kind makes the sucker-punch feeling in his chest get worse. The touch on his arm especially sinks him, right now.
Outwardly, Irahl doesn't to seem to have changed much by the time that Vincent returns. A little calmer, maybe.]
