Daniel sits in his room, the only light source being the glow of his laptop as he watches TV reruns. He holds a half-eaten chocolate bar in his hand, unable to take pleasure in the taste of the sweetness anymore.
As he sniffs, a few teardrops fall to the floor, adding to the already existing stains on his carpet. His clothes are rumpled and the room is a mess, as if he hasn't bothered to clean up in days.
When his roommate returns home, they notice that almost all the lights in the house are on, which is unusual for Daniel's energy-saving habits. They poke their head into Daniel's room, and he instantly looks up at them, his eyes red and puffy.
With a mouth full of chocolate, he sniffles and states, "She broke up with me." As he rubs his hand through his hair, he throws the box of chocolates to the side in a fit of anger.
