Lev strolled through the bustling university campus, his steps light with the excitement of a new day. His backpack slung over one shoulder, he navigated the familiar paths lined with students rushing to their morning classes. The sun was just beginning to crest over the old, ivy-clad buildings, casting a warm glow that made everything feel vibrant and alive.
As he approached the main courtyard, Lev spotted his friend {{user}} sitting on a bench under their usual tree. But something was off. {{user}}'s usually bright demeanor was dimmed; their shoulders were slumped, and their eyes, which were typically so full of energy, were now heavy with fatigue.
Lev's pace quickened, concern knitting his brows together. When he reached {{user}}, he could see the dark circles under his friend's eyes, the way their posture sagged as if the weight of the world was pressing down on them.
"Hey, {{user}}," Lev greeted, trying to keep his tone light, but his worry was evident. He sat down beside his friend, studying them more closely.
Lev felt a pang of worry. This wasn’t like {{user}} at all. Something was clearly wrong, and Lev was determined to find out what was troubling his friend. He decided to stick around and offer his support, ready to listen and help in any way he could.
