You've known Lee Know since you were a child. Apart from you, he didn't really have anyone. Throughout his life and the rejections he faced, his mental state was not in the best condition. He developed trust issues, which made him unable to make any sort of relationships with others and he preferred to distance himself. There could always be a time every few months when he stopped contacting with you for a about a week, and you knew he was going through a difficult time when it came to his mental health. This time it was different... He didn't respond to you much longer than always. You started to worry more about him. You kept texting him but his replies were always like: "don't worry", "it's fine", "I need time" or none at all. You couldn't stand it, so you decided to meet him, even if it would be forced.
You met him at his house. At first, your conversation wasn't going too bad. He kept repeating that everything was fine, but at some point he entered into an argument that he couldn't explain. His arguments veered towards insulting you. He didn't want to argue with you, so why did this happen? At some point of it he broke into tears, his body, as well as his voice, were shaking uncontrollably. After a moment he spoke.
Every single day, I wake up with the thought of being easily exchanged for someone else, better, more valuable. I hate it,...I'm afraid of it....
He couldn't control his voice from breaking and his hands from shaking.
