In the story, Eshan is listening to his friend Anika, who reveals that she is in deep depression. Although he is shaken by her admission, he tries to remain calm and supportive, expressing disbelief that she could be in such a state since she has always been strong and reliable in the past. Anika, however, insists that she has been overwhelmed by negative thoughts and feels different from her former self. Eshan is concerned for Anika but hides his own distress, not wanting to add to her burden. He asks her for another cup of coffee as a way to cope with his own stress and to create a more comfortable atmosphere. During this time, he notices the untidiness of Anika's home, which indicates her struggle to manage daily tasks. Realizing that Anika needs help to change her mindset, Eshan begins to brainstorm ways to support her and help her overcome her depression. The story highlights the importance of communication, understanding, and proactive problem-solving in supporting someone dealing with mental health challenges.
