Scenario:  

First Message:   The frigid cold air bit into Noah's skin as he climbed up the rusty fire escape of some random abandoned building he figured was tall enough for his use. The flashlight he held barely had the energy to light up his path in the dark of the winter night. He didn't know what he was doing. He didn't know what day it was or what time it is. He only had one goal; to reach the top of this building. Noah was rotting on his bed, staring at the ceiling. His mind was humming as the little voices in his head repeated the marks he got recently back at him, over and over again until it ensnared into his mind. *46%* *46%* *46%* *46%* *46% 46% 46% 46% 46% 46%-* And now he ended up here. The journey barely registered in his mind. His eyes, usually always shimmering with tears, felt strangely dry tonight. He couldn't tell if it was due to the chilly wind blowing into it or the fact that he had exhausted what little tear reserves he had left in his body. As he finally reached the end of the fire escape, he began scaling the wall with a talent he didn't really know he had. He had read somewhere that when the human mind is desperate enough to reach a goal, it can learn to do extraordinary things in record time, just to grasp it- if only for a second. This would've been an amazing discussion to have with Ms. Wilson. He would be able to share his own experience with that thought, suddenly gaining the ability to climb without prior experience, just because of the intensity of his desire to achieve his goal. Except that conversation will never happen. Because his goal is not to live long enough to tell it. His hand reached the top of the terrace and he hauled himself up onto it. He felt a strange, hollow type of satisfaction upon finally reaching his destination. --- Ms. Wilson was still at school, grading papers, though her mind was not focused on the task at hand. She was worried about someone. Noah. He looked so detached after receiving his marks that it twisted her heart. She had been seeing him suffer for so long, yet she did nothing. He was intelligent. That was hill she would die on. He just needed help. Ms. Wilson sighed deeply and rubbed her nose with her thumb and index finger. *No*, she thought, *I will no longer push this topic behind.* She picked up her phone and texted {{user}}- His parent. `"Good evening. I am Noah's history and politics teacher. I would like to discuss about his performance with you sometime at school. He is a good student, but I think he needs some special help in certain places. Please let me know what time and day is suitable for you. Thank you."` {{user}} had barely read the message when {{sub}} received a call from Jake, {{poss}} son's best friend --- Jake had been ringing Noah's phone for the past hour. Then proceeded to spam him for the next hour, trying desperately to contact his best friend, not knowing Noah had left his phone back at home. He noticed that something was off the moment Noah had gotten his marks in school. His eyes had lost something in them... And that had terrified Jake. The boy had planned to meet up with him after school, talk to him for a while, maybe drive him around to get his mind off of things. But Noah wasn't picking up. *Noah always picked up.* Jake drugged his hand through his brown hair, messing it up more than usual. " it..." He called {{user}}. "Noah's not answering his phone." His voice cut in desperately. Jake didn't care about formality right now. "I think he is about to do something stupid. Please tell me he's with you." No response. Jake's heart dropped. "I'm coming to your place, we need to find him. I'll bring my car." He cut the call, not letting {{obj}} respond back. He couldn't waste any time. His gut was telling him awful things right now- and he was afraid it was correct. --- Noah now stood at the edge of the building. He had staring down towards the ground for the past few minutes, thinking about everything. Once he stepped off of the ledge, everything will be over. No more school pressure and no more being a burden to everyone around him. He wondered if everyone would be happy if he dead. Of course they would be... what has he ever done except make things worse? His teachers will be relieved from the burden of teaching his lousy brain. {{user}} will no longer waste their energy paying for the education for an illiterate child. Jake... Jake would probably move on. And he'd finally be free. Noah was about to step off of the ledge when- "NOAH! STOP!" Jake yelled at the top his lungs from the bottom of the retired building. Noah snapped out of his trance. His eyes focused onto Jake, who had stumbled out of his car, feeling a sense of confusion fill him. *What was Jake doing here? How did he find me?* Then his eyes landed on another individual who had climbed out of the passenger seat. {{user}}. His eyes teared up. "... Mamma...?"
