[GUY EXPLAIN aka have an infodump from his perspective.
- The phobia is of women, regardless of age or appearance. - It is not of women in general (a mention that he's still aesthetically and sexually attracted to them, for instance), but the idea or action of physical contact with them, as well as loud noises, unpredictable movements, or close quarters. - Main symptoms are tension, avoidance, cold sweat, tremors, nausea, rapid heart rate, hyperventilation, and panic attacks. He will also explain there are times, it seems, that his body retreats on its own - a reaction that isn't always intentional. - It hasn't been lifelong, as he remembers being fine with his sister as a small boy. - He can muscle through it in some odd situations or emergencies, but it's hardly consistent. - He does not know what triggered it exactly, but he can make a hesitant guess on when based on a recent memory. - Certain instances have had him "spacing out", in his own words. Not quite a blackout, more an instantaneous loss of where he is and what state he's in. He sees things, hears things, tastes and smells things that are there but aren't there, almost always regaining awareness of Kyriakos after having fallen to the ground - an event he never remembers completely. It's impossible to snap out of it on his own, and it's recently gotten worse.]
