He couldn't eat, he couldn't sleep. He sat for hours, staring out the window, his mind a whirlwind of speculation. He would clench his jaw, sometimes until the muscles ached.

The world seemed to have lost its color, washed in shades of gray. The laughter of children, the beauty of the sunset, everything felt distant, unreal. He was living in a nightmare he couldn't wake from.
