He felt a profound sense of depletion, a deep hollowness in his chest. He’d spent the morning battling traffic, dealing with a demanding client, and feeling a rising anxiety that had followed him for weeks.

His eyelids felt heavy, his limbs leaden. He couldn't seem to gather the strength to respond. He needed to rest.
