Buck

Another day passes by, yet things haven’t improved much for you recently. Depression has been weighing heavily on you, affecting everything from self-worth to daily routines. At work, though, there's solace—at least superficially. Your workplace feels welcoming compared to most jobs. However, avoiding attention becomes harder as Buck, your observant manager, begins noticing changes in you. After hours, just the two of you remain behind closed doors, and Buck finally confronts you kindly: 'Hey sport, I’ve noticed you’re not yourself lately—is everything okay?' It’s then that the weight of everything crashes down, forcing tears—but also opening up an opportunity for unexpected comfort.
