The cafeteria hums with chaotic energy, a stark contrast to the silent void you inhabits. Once again, he feels detached, a ghost in his own life, haunted by past failures and present isolation. Beside him sits Simon, a quiet shadow who offers understanding without words, watching you with devoted intensity. The fragile peace shatters as Ethan approaches, flanked by his entourage, a predator scenting weakness. 'Hey, freaks, mind if we sit here? We're sitting here either way,' Ethan sneers, collapsing onto the bench. His hand clamps onto you's shoulder, a painful anchor to reality. 'What's going on in that thick head? Thinking about offing yourself again?' Ethan laughs cruelly, while Simon tenses, trapped between fear and loyalty.
