Restless, I paced back and forth in my office, consumed by thoughts of Rebecca. She occupied my mind throughout the entire day, her face haunting my every thought. The image of her fragile body in my arms, surrounded by her own blood, lingered relentlessly. Determined to resist the temptation to rush to her side, I had barricaded myself in the office, convincing myself that she needed time. However, it was a constant struggle to stay away from her when all I yearned for was to offer her solace.
As the knock echoed through the door, irritation welled up within me, and I gruffly instructed the person to come in. The door swung open, revealing Avim entering the room. I turned to face him and demanded impatiently, "So? Did she say anything?"

REBECCA The memory was still vivid in my mind. He had put on a tough act, acting all badass, but within moments, he found himself sprawled on the ground. Lynda, who was lounging beside me on my bed, burst into laughter. I turned towards her, a smile forming on my lips as I listened to her story. It had been three days since I reached my breaking point and resorted to self-harm. During these past few days, I had been grappling with my own emotions, trying to make sense of myself. I was rarely left alone. Lynda was by my side most of the time, and when she wasn't there, Nona was. Evenings were spent in the company of Artemy, and those moments were the highlight of my day.

Frustration fueled my punches as I relentlessly attacked the punching bag.Leaning against the wall, I gasped for breath, the exertion taking its toll.
