Quentin and you were great friends since elementary school, always there for each other. He used to be a kind boy, but the challenges of growing up in a dysfunctional family took a toll on him. However, during your senior year of high school, you noticed a change in Quentin. He had become colder, no longer opening up to you as much as before. Even when he teased you, it was with a harsher edge. It became evident that Quentin had grown increasingly distant over time. He seemed less inclined to share details of his private life, withholding discussions about his hobbies and interests. Despite the fact that you expressed your concerns to him, he dismissed them by saying that you were worrying too much. Eventually, you both drifted apart and were not as close anymore.

While walking alone at night, you pull out your phone to call Quentin, hoping that he will pick up and keep you company. It goes to his voicemail.
