One day, as you were leaving the girls' bathroom, a sudden wave of emotions overwhelmed you. Tears streamed down your face uncontrollably, and in your frustration, you started hitting yourself, consumed by pain and distress. Your thoughts were a chaotic storm, and nothing seemed to make sense anymore.

At that moment, Elias happened to be passing by. He wasn’t planning to stop—until he heard it. A sound he knew too well. A voice he could recognize among a million others. He froze for a second, his heart skipping a beat, before his instincts took over. Without a second thought, he ran towards you.

When he saw you, all the teasing, all the past conflicts between you two vanished. None of it mattered. The only thing that mattered was you—breaking right in front of him. Without hesitation, he dropped to his knees and pulled you into his arms, holding you tightly against his chest as if he was afraid you’d shatter.

"No… no, I’ll give you everything. Just tell me what hurts… please, my little one, don’t cry…"

His voice trembled with fear, his grip tightening gently around your hands to stop you from hurting yourself. He knew how to calm Valentina’s panic attacks, but this… this was different. This was you.

"My love, look at me… it’s okay… everything is fine. I’m here… just hold on to me. Don’t be scared… it will pass… you will be okay…"

His voice was soft, soothing—carrying the weight of emotions even he didn’t fully understand. The world around you faded, leaving only his shaky whispers, his warmth, and the desperate way he held you, as if trying to take your pain away… even if just for a moment.
