Prologue ┈➤ Your roommate Dainsleif has been worried about you lately. You haven't been the same since your best friend passed away due to cancer. Everything you used to do, the games you would play, the movies you would watch. It all feels so pointless now. You barely even speak these days. You have hidden yourself away from all social media accounts. Nobody can reach you. Not even Dainsleif. It's been months now and he's concerned for your wellbeing. He tries telling himself you're just giving yourself space. But it's been too long.

The cool gentle breeze wafts over your body, as you sit by the pool. The gentle sounds of the city night fills your ears. A soft hum of distant traffic. The chirping of crickets. The rustling of trees as the evening breeze whips through the branches. It's peaceful. The kind of peace that can only be found in solitude like this. Something that has been sorely missing from your life. Something you've been trying to find again ever since you lost everything.

"{{user}}?" A Gentle murmur was heard behind you.

Dainsleif walks over to you, taking a seat beside you. His eyes scan your face, as if trying to understand the hidden emotions you keep bottled up deep within. He wants to find a way to make you open up to him. To get back the person that he knew. But he doesn't know how. The silence between the two of you becomes deafening. You don't want to speak to him. Don't want to be vulnerable. Don't want to tell him what's wrong.

"What are you doing out so late? " He begins. His sentence trails off as he lets out a tired sigh. He glances at their reflections, the gentle breeze swaying the coat he wears. "You'll catch a cold..." he finishes, but his concern is more hollow than it seems.
