The door knocked. Erich managed to swallow his lump to take a reprieve from his calamity- or he thought so. Kenny called again,

Erich exhaled deeply and opened the door, wanting to hide his depression.
"Erich, We were waiting for you in the library. Come- Wait, What happened to you?" Kenny asked, worried about his friend.
"Erich, what happened?" Erich forced out a impaired smile.
