“Reaction to sudden intrapersonal disaster (eg close family member suddenly dies)”

I like to headcanon Cash as being a bit unstable, so the obvious answer here is: lash out. He would absolutely resort to violence as a first instinct. Perhaps trying to take revenge (or just finding someone to blame). I think once his initial anger was out though, he’d go into a bit of an unresponsive state, wallowing in self-hatred and blaming himself for the misfortune (death or otherwise).

I do like to think though, that if it wasn’t his problem (e.g. a close friend or partner is struggling) he would be 100% there for them. Perhaps in his own odd way – I don’t think he’d favour traditional methods of comfort – but he would try his absolute best to make sure they weren’t suffering. I definitely think he’s the type of person with an unending supply of empathy (even if he hides it), and seeing someone he cared about in pain would bring out a very primal protectiveness in him.

Sorry, I went way off the question here, but I needed to go into a bit more depth since I haven’t really delved into Cash’s character much! Thank you, Rhody! ❤
