Slumped in the worn chair beside his cluttered desk, he appeared on the brink of collapse, weariness etched deep into the lines of his face. His pallid complexion, drained of color, betrayed the long hours and sleepless nights. With a heavy, almost agonizing slowness, his head descended toward the desk’s surface, each movement a testament to the weight of exhaustion that gripped him.

His features, once animated with determination, now surrendered to the table's worn surface. The wood, a testament to years of use, welcomed his cheek as he finally found a temporary respite. A soft, rhythmic sound, barely audible, escaped the confines of his room—a gentle snore, a testament to the profound depths of his weariness.
