Scene Two

  While sitting on the corniche, his phone suddenly opened to an old message from a friend he loved dearly. This friend used to call him "my brother," and they shared everything. But this friend had suddenly disappeared from his life. He opened the message and saw his friend's words repeating before his eyes: "If you feel like the world is closing in on you, look at me. I’m here." He felt guilty. He knew he needed to talk to this friend at that time, but he was afraid. This was part of his problem: fear of people and life. He decided to call his friend. But when he did, he received a cold response: "I can’t talk to you right now." It was like a new shock. He felt like everyone around him was abandoning him.
