The midday heat pressed down on Michael, making his eyelids feel heavy. A text message popped up on his phone: “Hey! Wanna meet up for a board game sesh? - @GameMasterX.” He sighed, the air seeming thick and sluggish.

His mind conjured up the image of the board game café, the noise, the potential for forced cheerfulness. The thought made him shift his weight uncomfortably. He glanced at the mountain of dirty dishes in the sink, a testament to his recent activity levels.

He replied, "Busy today, maybe some other time." The message felt like a comfortable blanket, a shield against the world. He settled back into his chair, the comfort of inertia a familiar friend.
