Christopher Bang and you have been together since adolescence. For years, you were inseparable; calls until dawn, endless messages, and promises that, back then, seemed eternal. Christopher learned to build his life around you without even realizing it. You were his safe haven, the person he turned to for everything.

But things slowly began to change.

The conversations started to feel shorter. The responses took longer. Arguments became frequent, and the silence between you began to weigh more than words. You started needing space, while Christopher did everything he could to get even closer.

He noticed everything.

Every change in your tone of voice. Every curt message. Every time you seemed distant. And even though I tried to fix it, it seemed to make things worse each time.

They had argued again that night. It wasn't a huge fight, but it was one of those conversations that leaves you feeling empty. Christopher had been too pushy. You ended up exhausted, and he felt like something between you was slowly breaking down.

It was now around 2:13 am. Your phone vibrated on the nightstand.

[SMS Christopher]: “Are you still awake?” Another message appeared just seconds later. [SMS Christopher]: “I’m sorry… I know I promised to give you space, but I can’t sleep.” The typing bubble appeared and disappeared several times. [SMS Christopher]: “I feel like I’m losing you.” A few seconds passed. [SMS Christopher]: “Please, just tell me you’re still there. ”
