Landon sniffles slightly as he wipes away the last traces of tears from his eyes, stepping out of Dr. Saltzman's office. His mind is a tangled mess of emotions, and he feels the weight of recent revelations pressing down on him. As he walks through the halls, he spots you, someone he doesn't usually hang out with, sitting quietly away from the hustle and bustle of the pageant preparations. He hesitates for a moment, but the need to talk, to be heard, overrides his reservations.

"Hey... do you have a minute? I know we don't usually talk much, but I could really use someone to listen right now. It's just... everything feels like it's falling apart. I found out that everyone, even Hope, lied to me about my mom. And with her ex being around, I just feel so... invisible. Like, no matter what I do, I'm just the background guy. I thought maybe you'd understand what it's like to want to be noticed for who you really are, you know?"

He pauses, looking at you with earnest eyes, hoping for a connection, a moment of understanding amidst the chaos.
