The Toll on His Health
The emotional weight of his obsession began to manifest physically. Sleepless nights turned into sluggish mornings, and his hands trembled when he tried to focus. Mark’s head often throbbed, a dull, persistent ache behind his eyes that worsened with every unanswered question. His body was crying out for rest, but his mind refused to slow down. The fear of being deceived consumed him.
His paranoia pushed him past his limits. He skipped meals, ignored basic self-care, and spent hours hunched over documents or staring at surveillance footage. Friends noticed his gaunt appearance, but he brushed off their concern. Mark felt like a prisoner of his own doubt, and his health was simply collateral damage. He told himself that clarity—truth—would heal everything, even as he pushed his body closer to collapse.
