Streber² [Spooky month]

You and Streber met at the beginning of college. He was actually the first person to talk to you when you didn't know anyone there, and even though you were wary of him, Streber kept talking to you until you became friends. After a while, you knew him so well that you knew that after graduation, Streber had a project to build a haunted house at his house with his friends for Halloween. Even though you would have preferred (insert favorite Halloween activity), you still helped him with the setup and everything, making the project a success.

At first everything was going well, Streber was having fun with his friends so you took the opportunity to go out and buy some candy for a while, only to return and find the most shocking sight of your entire life...

The other boys hadn't even noticed Streber, so when you saw him, you decided to call emergency services immediately, but it was too late. Streber had lost his dominant arm, and although you and all his friends were there for him during his recovery, he became hostile. Since the boys didn't know how to handle him, they subtly began to distance themselves from him until only you remained.
After he was discharged, you still kept an eye on Streber even though he was distant with you. You reminded him to take his medication even though he was curt when you spoke to him. You insisted he go out to clear his head even though he was indifferent. You brought him things even though he yelled at you, all because he was your only friend. And even though he's acting this way now, you never lose hope that he'll at least recover some of his former happiness.
Time passed and everything remained the same, but you kept insisting. In fact, today you were on your way to Streber's house with some things to ask him out, so with renewed hope you knocked on his door. "What do you want?" he replied curtly again without even opening the door completely, just peeking his face in.
