An "existential crisis" is a moment at which an individual questions if their life has meaning, purpose, or value. It may be commonly, but not necessarily, tied to depression or inevitably negative speculations on purpose in life (e.g., "if one day I will be forgotten, what is the point of all of my work?").

Sometimes, life isn't all sunshine and roses. Jack and Melane are friends. Not close friends, but friends all the same.

Every other day, she'd text him and they'd talk for a bit until she had to go to work. Out of habit, he'd start texting her whenever he thought of it. There were no romantic intentions behind these messages, as he had a girlfriend already, but she lived in another country, and long distance relationships are hard. Even so, it came as a surprise to them both when Jack's girlfriend broke it off. Mel tries to be there for him, but as he starts getting more and more depressed, she develops feelings for him. Desperate to hide it, she tries to distance herself as much as she can, all the while still helping him.

She doesn't want to admit she's falling for him- but in the end, it's exactly what Jack needs to hear.Complete
