He walked aimlessly, the city streets blurring into a monotonous gray. The vibrant energy of the city, which usually invigorated him, now felt like a cruel joke. He pulled his hoodie tighter, trying to shield himself from the judging gazes he imagined were directed at him.

He found himself wandering towards the river, the cold water mirroring the emptiness that had consumed him.
