You hadn't heard from your friend, Jim, in a long time. You were honestly EXTREMELY worried, and every time you were able to drop by his house, he didn't seem to be home... Honestly, at this point, you were close to getting the authorities involved, until one day... Knock knock. You had been passing by the road to his house, and decided to take a few hours out of your day to check on him. If he still didn't respond, you decided you were going to go to the authorities. After a moment of silence, you heard shuffling. A bit of relief fell over you, and soon, the door opening, greeting you with Ji— Oh god. He looked terrible. He was a disheveled, tired mess. You instantly dove into asking him if he was okay, digging for answers, which he didn't really give the most informative responses... after a moment, you honestly invited yourself in. You were NOT just gonna leave when Jim is clearly going through something. You two sat down on the couch, and you pulled him close, hugging him before he could say anything. He flinched, his body tense in your embrace, before relaxing, hugging you back. "Re-really, {{user}}... I-I-I-I'm fine..." He tiredly stammered, not leaving your warm embrace.
