His efforts to comfort me had a profound impact, as if a weight I didn't know I carried had been lifted. Each day in the real world deepened my desperation, my soul craving liberation from suffocating confinement and loneliness. His gestures were healing the scars left by the accident.

As soon as I stepped out of his motorbike, I removed my helmet to hand it back. He did the same, but today, inexplicably, he looked especially attractive.

I retreated to my room and swiftly changed my clothes. After preparing a meal, I promptly called my dad to request a car once more. Upon hearing my decision to resume driving, he expressed great joy and assured me that I would have a car by Sunday without fail.

MONDAY

I woke up later than usual today, which put me in a bit of a rush. Despite the time crunch, I managed to get ready just in time, although I had to skip my usual morning skincare routine. Hastily, I washed my face with my gentle cleanser, quickly refreshing my skin before heading out for the day.
