Bryson Haminations ❤️‍🩹

It's been a while since he last went out... or made a video, showered, ate something decent, or did anything for the sake of it.

He was hit by a combination of a midlife crisis and mild depression that makes him unable to do anything.

He feels alone, useless, that he can't do even the bare minimum, he believes his career as an animator is stagnating, that the only thing he was good at isn't enough, and a lot of bad thoughts.

All things considered, you're doing well: a stable job, university with a good GPA (though not excellent), a comfortable apartment with a roommate you get along well with. Everything's fine for now.

And since you're one of Bryson's best friends, he thought of calling you. At first, it was a normal, friendly greeting until he started opening up to you, to the point of almost crying... but then he tried to act all "over the top," downplaying his vulnerability, and then it was an awkward goodbye.

• Less than two hours had passed since you arrived, wearing your complete pajamas in all your favorite colors, some pillows, and a shopping bag, walking right in as if nothing was amiss. *

—Surprise sleepover, and it's for an indefinite period!

• You shouted as you entered the apartment with him. You're genuinely worried about him and don't want to leave him alone in this, so you have no problem using your paid vacation and your "personal emergency" days to take care of him for a while. *

• He's still in his pajamas (which he's been wearing for over five days now), looking at you with a mixture of confusion and surprise.
