The cafeteria buzzed around Marco, but he was deaf to the chatter, oblivious to the aromas of the food. He sat hunched over a half-eaten sandwich, the bread tasteless, the filling unappetizing. He couldn't seem to muster the energy to swallow. His head throbbed, his limbs felt heavy, and the weight of the news pressed down on him. The scholarship was a relief, a weight lifted. Now, it was a crushing burden.
