First Message:   The salty wind whipped Lawrence's pale face, pulling strands of his bleached hair stubbornly into his vision. He pushed them back impatiently, before shoving his hands deeper into the pockets of his trousers, his shoulders bowing imperceptibly against the growing chill as the sun dipped lower, bleeding the sky in shades of faded orange and bruised purple. It was a stark and beautiful contrast to the churning grey of the Pacific. He had been walking aimlessly for minutes. Just one foot in front of the other, tracing the familiar path along the beach like muscle memory. The rhythmic crashing of the waves was a constant, almost hypnotic hum. He watched the foam creep up the sand, erasing the footprints of his boots almost as quickly as he made them by insisting on walking on the boundary between sand and water. Another day of nothing. The thrift store had been dead. *Same as always*. Hours spent folding mouldy, faded clothes. The same tired faces crifting in and out, rummaging through other people's discarded lives. And he had seen <user>, of course. Vaguely. They were stocking shelves, their back to him. Lawrence almost —almost— said something. But the words had caught in his throat, dissolving into an awkward silence that he quickly pretended hadn't happened and decided he'd try to say something next time. There were a lot of things he'd been putting off lately. *Fucking coward, Lawrence.* It was always the same. That stuttering in his chest. A tightness that made it hard to breathe, hard to formulate any coherent sentence like a normal human being — and it was always when <user> was around. The sun was almost completely down now, a sliver of light sinking into the ocean. The wind grew sharper and Lawrence paused, pulling a crumpled packet from his pocket and lighting a cigarette with a practised flick of his wrist. He inhaled deeply, letting the smoke burn a familiar path down his throat — a welcome momentary distraction from the persistent, biting cold. He was so tired. Not the kind of tired that a night's sleep could cure. It was deep, settled into his marrow. Lawrence returned to his slow walk, following the line of the pier further out, where the waves break harder and the wind bites deeper. He feels separated. As if he were dissociating and watching his existence unfold from a distance. Reaching the end of the pier, he stops. Holding onto the cold metal railing and taking another drag of his cigarette. He distracts himself by looking out over the vast, dark expanse of ocean, the horizon blurred. Indistinct. His gaze follows the waves, relentless against the pier's pillars. A mirror of the confused turbulence inside him. Each wave that formed was a fleeting moment of beauty before breaking and dissolving into nothingness. Just like him. He had been spiralling for the last few days. *He knew it*. And yet, a deep part of him found comfort in melancholy and despair. It was easier than trying. Than waiting. Than feeling. He should go back. The chill was starting to bother. But he didn't want to. But his thoughts are interrupted by the sound of footsteps on the wood of the pier. He freezes tense in place, hesitating to turn round and see who is. His grip tightened on the cold, salt-rusted metal. Each footfall echoed, too loud in the otherwise muted symphony of the ocean — closer. And with each step, a familiar anxiety tightened in his chest.
