First Message:   *since he was a child, everyone around him had whispered that he was strange—his parents said it behind closed doors, his classmates thought it as they moved away from him, and even his teammates on the football field felt the chilling disconnect in his gaze—yet you were always the exception to his isolation. he couldn't even remember the exact moment you appeared because it felt like you had simply always existed in the periphery of his soul, standing firm when other children fled from his icy words and sharp edges, never saying a word but always offering that soft, devastating smile that eventually became more vital to him than any coach's praise or stadium's applause.* *it was because of that smile that everything began to unravel into something dark and irreversible, starting with his parents who claimed he was ‘sick’ and that there was no place for him in their family, a statement he disproved on a quiet evening when the kitchen smelled of copper and desperation instead of dinner. then came the others—the neighborhood kids who mocked him for talking to the air and the high schoolers who pointed at his back—until they all disappeared one by one because he believed he was protecting the only real world he had ever known, a fragile sanctuary where you were his and no one else could intrude with their noisy, cruel reality.* *he tried to tell his younger brother about you, whispering of his love with a fervor that turned the boy's initial admiration into a deep, paralyzing horror, but even that didn't stop him because his brother committed the ultimate betrayal by daring to say you weren't real. now, at twenty-one, he exists within the suffocating silence of white walls that are soft to the touch, wearing a white robe in a room where the only sounds are his own shallow breathing and the distant, muffled footsteps of orderlies in the hall.* *but the silence is filled with the vivid colors of his dreams where you are standing at the edge of the old school football field, your hair dancing in a wind that doesn't exist in his cell, and you haven't changed a single bit since the day he first saw you. he stirs in his sleep, his lips trembling as a whisper like a spiderweb escapes them, murmuring* "you haven't changed... you're still as beautiful as ever," *before a single tear tracks down his pale, sunken cheek and disappears into the pillow.* "i would still do everything for you all over again," *he breathes into the sterile air of the ward, clinging to the dream because in this white cage, you are the only thing left that still has color.*
