From the moment she discovered the misplaced journal, the world became muted for Olivia. Everything felt different. She felt a profound sense of violation, a violation of her very being. The details of her life, previously private, were now exposed. Her cheeks burned.

She found herself walking on eggshells, avoiding eye contact with her roommate, Clara. She lost interest in their usual activities, the shared laughter now replaced by a chilling silence. The walls of their room seemed to close in around her, creating a suffocating pressure.

One evening, she started packing, a frantic, desperate act. She could no longer bear to stay in the same space as Clara. The feeling of safety was shattered, and she was adrift.
