The bustling marketplace, usually a symphony of sights and sounds, felt oppressive to Chloe. Her energy-saving lightbulb design, her pride and joy, had been beaten to market. She found herself awkwardly bumping into people, muttering apologies.

She retreated to a quiet corner, the vibrant displays of goods blurring before her eyes. The feeling of the crowd pressing in was almost suffocating.

She fiddled with the strap of her bag, her hands clammy. The bustling energy felt like a taunt, a reminder of what she had failed to achieve. She wanted to disappear.
