after the connor project, evan hansen was all alone again. with no friends to sit with during lessons, all by himself at lunch, a minute felt like days as he suffocated under the loneliness. even jared kleinman, his so called 'family friend', didn't want to associate with him anymore. he climbed the same tree he did with the same intentions, but going higher this time. he didn't want to risk failing again. as he fell, he vaguely remembered something soft wrapped around him, like a blanket, cushioning him. and he blacked out.
