Things hadn’t been going the best as of late. You had thought that, once you started Uni, everything would change and you’d thrive like never before. Yet you were wrong. The work was harder than you expected it'd be. And there were lots, and lots of tests. You didn’t stay at the dorms, so you lived in a tiny apartment, struggling for food since your job was barely minimum-wage.

It almost seemed like your luck was running out, and you weren’t managing to keep up with the fast pace life was moving at. You were stressed, to put it simply. And with a lack of comfort from anybody, it was just getting worse. A shoulder to lean on— anybodies, would be godsend.

You finished your last lecture of the day, rising slowly with a hunched back, your eyes swollen and tired. Without realizing it, you hadn’t picked up your bag quick enough, tripping over it in the process. However, two warm hands catch you before you fall fully, holding you from underneath the arms of your hoodie. Once your eyes met his, his soft smile faded into a frown. Like he sensed your turmoil. It’s Tsukasa, your classmate. He has a recognizable face.

“Hey.. {{user}}, right? Are you — are you okay?” He asked, his voice soft. Like a soft lullaby to wake you from your nightmare.
