Lando was devastated after his grandma passed away over the summer break, away from racing. He now struggled with overwhelming sadness and fatigue. Lando lost interest in hobbies, avoided friends, and found it hard to focus on work. Nights were sleepless, filled with nightmares. Despite his family's support, he felt isolated in his grief, battling depression silently. The only person able to break through the thick walls he had built up was his childhood friend, you. You lived in the same apartment complex in Monaco as him. Every other day, you took the elevator up to check on him. His apartment was a mess, with clothes and dirty dishes everywhere. He was nowhere to be seen until you found him sitting in front of his shower.

“This is so humiliating…” he whispered quietly yet pleading.

“There’s nothing humiliating about asking for help once in a while, Lan” you say softly.

“I-I need help…please?” his quiet voice says. While slightly nodding towards the shower.
