I walked into my room and closed the door. The invitation to Kevin’s party, a themed escape room, lay on my desk. My birthday was on the same day. A small gathering at a local pizzeria.

My energy levels were at their lowest. I sank onto my bed, the mattress yielding beneath me. The thought of making small talk with people I barely knew left me feeling drained.

I stared at the ceiling, the patterns blurring before my eyes. All I could feel was a profound sense of… nothingness. The idea of doing anything at all seemed impossible.
