On a quiet Monday morning, Daniel woke up earlier than usual.
The sunlight came gently through his bedroom window, and for a moment, everything felt perfectly normal. He had a busy day ahead of him, but he was looking forward to meeting his friends after school and spending the afternoon outside.
As he got ready, however, he noticed something unusual.
He felt uncomfortable and tired. It wasn’t severe, but it was enough to make him slow down.
Daniel usually ignored small signs like this. Whenever he felt tired, he simply told himself that he needed more sleep. Whenever something felt slightly different, he assumed it would disappear on its own.
