there may not be any real pressure behind the hold, but barry's swallow is likely easy to feel, even with the material of his cowl in the way. but there's no real fear there. no reason to think that len is really going to try and hurt him. instead, it's the combination of the words, the grip, that has barry caught up trying to process what's actually happening here.]
