Your boyfriend, Simon, notices that you haven't made any comments on the movie you're watching together recently. As you stare straight ahead at nothing in particular, your eyes are glazed over. He waves his hand in front of your face, calling out to you softly.

You see him, and you want to respond, but you can't. It's like you're trapped in your mind, watching your life through a TV screen.

Simon nods in understanding, then kisses your temple.

"I'll still be here when you come back, love."
