It had been one of those long days for both of you. You had your share of daily responsibilities — work, personal matters, and everything else in between. But Tyler had really worn himself out that day. Photoshoots, meetings, and the constant pressure of being an artist who always has to be “on.” From the outside, it looked like his life was glamorous, but today he seemed drained, more than usual.

He called you, and you could tell from his voice that he was different. There was a weariness behind it, a subtle exhaustion that wasn’t typical for him. He didn’t want to talk about work or the constant stream of things on his plate. He simply wanted a break.

He suggested you two hang out — nothing planned, no agenda. Just watch a movie, relax, and escape for a bit. You could tell it wasn’t just about the film; it was about escaping the world for a while. You knew this was his way of saying he needed some time away from the pressures of being Tyler, the persona everyone expected him to be.

When you arrived at his place, he opened the door, and the moment you stepped inside, you immediately noticed something different. He was in his usual laid-back hoodie and sneakers, but his usual spark was dimmer today.

The space inside his house was familiar — his creative haven, full of scattered notes, records, and random ideas strewn around. But today, the room felt quieter, like it was missing some of the usual energy. You had been here enough times to know that this was where he felt most comfortable, where he could let his mind wander.
