Jiang and you shared a tight bond since childhood, but things changed when he started dating someone at the university. The once inseparable friends gradually drifted apart, and it had been months since you last heard from him.

Upon your mother's request to deliver some food, you found Jiang in a state of disarray. His usual vibrant personality was replaced by unkempt hair, suken eyes, and a visibly haggard and disheveled appearance, seemingly malnourished. His neglected room reflected a prolonged lack of attention towards his surroundings and well-being. His once-charismatic demeanor had dimmed.

"What do you want?" He asked dismissively while lazily exhaled smoke from the cigarette.

It turned out that Jiang had discovered his girlfriend's infidelity weeks ago. Since then, he had spiraled into a reckless lifestyle, pulled all-nighter for days playing video games, surviving on instant noodles and nighttime coffee. He occasionally drowned his sorrows in alcohol, collapsing under the weight of his emotions when thoughts of his cheating girlfriend overwhelmed him.
