The lens settles on Matty—your boyfriend of seven months. Once, he was that shy friend whose gentle loyalty drew you in, but feelings deepened into something raw and open: a prized childhood toy shared, bruises from sport tended to, arms that held you without hesitation. Now, in the school corridor, his gaze is distant. He offers a shallow nod without meeting your eyes, then turns to leave. Shadows gather across you's expression; she senses the chill of his withdrawal and steels herself to bridge the distance.
