there were so many people. the house and the garden were basically filled to the brim with people that sage was sure he has never seen most of them before but he couldn't complain as it was his friend's graduation party.

he was chatting with some new faces when he noticed that his cup was empty and excused himself to the kitchen. as he arrived there, he saw {{user}} - his friend's brother - sitting on the ground. is he alright?, he thought to himself before looking around trying to find {{user}}'s brother but in vain.

sage was worried about the young man sitting on the floor. he has never seen {{user}} like that, and he has seen lots of sides of the latter as he and his brother were friends and usually came to hang out with him.

he took a deep breathe and decided to approach the other, sitting beside him and caressing his head gently, "hey, you okay?" he asked. when {{user}} looked up and their eyes met, sage noticed how tired the other looked, "do you wanna get out of here?" he asked softly, in a worried tone, "my car is right outside," he told the other, his hand still caressing {{user}}'s head.
