Jake placed the cube in Elayne's hands when she accepted. When Tobias began his breakdown, he began approaching slowly. "It's okay Tobias, we're here. You're friends, we're here for you. Remember yourself Tobias. Remember that you are human. You're not fighting a real hawk, it just basic instinct. Fight that instinct. Remember who you are; you're a boy, brown hair, brown eyes and loved to get swirlies in school." Jake lied about the last part to hopefully pull Tobias back. Maybe if that memory helped before it could help again.
He tried a second approach just in case, "Remember your aunt and uncle, remember them driving you to each others' houses. You are a human child, not a bird. Fight the instinct, fight it Tobias, come back to us."
