He felt a sudden, intense desire to scream. He pressed his palms against his eyes, trying to block out the world. The pressure behind his eyes was immense. He hadn’t felt this drained in a long time. The energy had simply vanished.

He ran a hand through his already disheveled hair. He wasn't even sure where to begin. Maybe a walk? The idea felt exhausting. He just wanted to disappear. The walls seemed to be closing in.
