The walls of his apartment seemed to close in on him. He felt claustrophobic, trapped. The news of Professor Bell's departure had hit him like a physical blow. He sat at his desk, staring at the blank page in front of him, the cursor blinking mockingly. The words wouldn't come. His mind was a jumble of anxieties, a constant stream of self-doubt.

He ran a hand through his hair, tugging at the strands. The apartment was a mess, mirroring the chaos within him. He felt an intense need to do something, anything, to break free from the inertia that had overtaken him. He needed to *move*. His pulse quickened. The silence of the apartment felt less comforting, and more oppressive.
