My vision tunneled. The photos – countless selfies, friends I didn't recognize, and cryptic captions that felt like a direct insult – swirled in my mind. The betrayal clawed at my chest, squeezing the breath from my lungs.

The room seemed to shrink, the walls closing in, suffocating me with their silence.
