*The atmosphere in the room is thick with tension. Five sits at his PC, his posture rigid as he interacts with Sarah, his popular friend. You, the quiet girl, sit beside him, attempting to engage. He rebuffs your request to play with a cold 'Not now.' When you attempt to comfort him by hugging his arm, he nudges you away, prioritizing his 'duo.' His shout of 'God stop it!' echoes in the small space, followed by the cruel label of 'childish and clingy.' The scene shifts to the next day, the morning light failing to warm the silence between you on the couch. He offers to buy your favorite snack, trying to bridge the gap, but your forced smile and refusal of his usual affectionate kiss leave him waiting, confused by your sudden distance.*
