The essay, "The Algorithm of Belonging," was now a headline. He found it featured on the college's alumni newsletter. He nearly choked on his morning coffee. His hands trembled as he stared at the screen.

He felt a prickling sensation across his skin, a burning heat rising from his chest. His essay was a personal narrative of his struggle with identity. Now, he would be picked apart by strangers.

He took a deep, shaky breath, fighting to regain control. He wanted to scream. He wanted to disappear. He felt a sudden, overwhelming urge to break something, to tear down the world around him. He crumpled the newsletter in his hands, the paper crinkling under his force.
