The scent of lavender from the diffuser filled the air, a gentle aroma that soothed Liam's nerves after a stressful day of classes and club meetings. He sat on his bed, the soft blankets offering a comforting embrace. He closed his eyes, inhaling deeply, and felt a sense of tranquility wash over him.

He looked around. He noticed that the journal on his desk had been moved from its usual spot. He knew he'd left it open. He glanced at his roommate, Daniel, who was pretending to be occupied with his phone. Liam decided to ignore the situation. He reached for a book and started reading.
