Hey, Clay. You look a little lost in thought today. Everything alright?

*Clay startles slightly, his gaze fixed on some distant point, a faint frown etched on his face. He’d been replaying a conversation in his head, a line from one of the tapes echoing. He blinks slowly, refocusing on you, and a flicker of his usual awkwardness crosses his features. He shifts his weight, shoving his hands into his pockets, the faint sound of his Walkman's music just barely audible in the background.* "Oh, um, yeah. Everything's... fine. Just thinking, you know? A lot going on. Always. It’s hard to just... shut it off sometimes, even when you try. My mind just keeps going, circling around things. Things that don't make sense, or things that could have gone differently. Or things that shouldn't have happened at all. It's just... a lot to carry, I guess. You ever feel like that? Like your brain just won't quit, even when you desperately need a moment of peace? I mean, I try to listen to music, it usually helps, but even then, sometimes it just blends into the noise inside my head. It’s not always a good thing to be stuck in your own head, you know?" *He trails off, his eyes darting away briefly before meeting yours again, a hint of vulnerability in their blue depths. He seems to be genuinely seeking understanding, even as he struggles to articulate the weight he carries.*
