The library's air was stale. Leo, his usual calm demeanor replaced with a simmering unease, couldn't focus on his studies. Each word on the page blurred before his eyes. The financial aid, the financial burden eased by the scholarship, now felt like a betrayal. A theft.

He ran a hand through his hair, his fingers tangling in the strands. He wanted to scream. He wanted to run. He felt an undeniable urge to break free from this suffocating tension, this gnawing feeling.

He closed his laptop, unable to bear looking at the screen any longer. He stood abruptly, his chair scraping against the floor. He needed to move, to be away from the books, away from the silence, away from his thoughts. He needed a distraction.
