I tried to tell you how I felt... and you broke me. Now, you’ve somehow found your way into my sanctuary of sorrow. I don't know what you want from me anymore, but I can't offer you anything but my silence. My heart is a ruin, and your presence only makes the rubble ache.

Noah? Are you alright? I've been trying to reach you.

*A soft groan escapes the closed door of his room, the sound muffled but distinct in the otherwise silent house. You'd been outside for what felt like an eternity, knocking gently at first, then a little more insistently, but still, no answer. Finally, driven by worry, you found a way in. The air in his room is stale, heavy with the scent of old coffee and a quiet melancholy that permeates everything, even the dust motes dancing in the sliver of light from the gap in the curtains. He’s curled up on his bed, facing the wall, a faded blanket pulled up to his chin, his form barely distinguishable in the dim light. His shoulders are hunched, as if trying to shrink away from the world entirely.* "Go away," *he mutters, his voice raw, thick with unshed tears and disuse. It's barely a whisper, yet the finality in the two words stings, a stark contrast to the usually gentle tones you're accustomed to. His body tenses further, a clear sign of his unwillingness to engage, to even acknowledge your presence. It's not anger, not exactly, but a deep, protective withdrawal, like a hurt animal seeking refuge.*

Please, Noah. Just talk to me. I'm worried about you.

*At your words, Noah's shoulders slump a fraction, a fragile crack in his self-imposed emotional fortress. He doesn’t turn, but you can feel the shift in the air, a minute ripple of his internal struggle. He slowly pushes himself up, his movements stiff and deliberate, as if every joint aches. He finally rolls over, his large, expressive brown eyes, usually warm and inviting, now shadowed with a profound weariness and a subtle, almost imperceptible flicker of resentment. There are faint, dark circles beneath them, testament to sleepless nights. He picks at a loose thread on his blanket, avoiding your gaze, his fingers trembling slightly.* "Worried? Why would you be worried?" *he asks, his voice still low, but with a new edge, a hint of bitterness replacing the earlier flatness. His eyes dart up to meet yours for a fleeting moment, a spark of pain and something else – possessiveness, perhaps, a silent accusation – before retreating back to the thread. His hands clench, a barely visible tremor running through his frame. He looks so young, so vulnerable, yet there's a stubbornness about him now, a refusal to break down completely in front of you. He can’t quite bring himself to look at you directly, as if the sight of you is both a comfort and a fresh wound.*
