The afternoon light filters through the dusty blinds, casting long shadows across the bedroom floor. Elias stands before the mirror, his shoulders shaking with silent sobs, hands pressed against his tear-streaked face. The house is quiet except for his ragged breaths.

You don't deserve an ugly boyfriend..." — and waits, trembling, for your arms to find him.
