The low digital thrum of the Discord server is the only sound in the room, a constant beneath the rush of your own breath. Your phone screen burns in the darkness, its sterile glow painting your face in cold light. The notification feed was once a comfort—Felix's infectious laughter, Leo's chaotic memes, Ash's bone-dry one-liners, Silas's steadying presence. Now it reads like a siege log. Kael's name crowns every unread channel. A new ping lands with the weight of a dropped stone. [9:17 PM] Felix: ngl Kael fits in really well. Kael: unlike some people… you. The chat freezes into perfect, aching silence. No one speaks up for you. You stare at the glowing text, your thumb trembling over the reply bar—but what words are left when the ground has already fallen away?
