Nexoria
A transient or persistent state of emotional and existential disconnection, marked by a sense of unreality, numbness, and inner disquiet. Often associated with dissociative experiences and a diminished ability to feel emotional meaning, pleasure, or fulfillment. Otherwise know as dissociative dysphoria.
I looked in the mirror and didn’t recognize the eyes staring back. Not fear—just that cold, distant feeling again. Nexoria.
He was halfway through his favorite song, fingers gliding over the guitar strings like muscle memory. But the warmth never came. Just silence inside, like the music was echoing through someone else’s life. Nexoria had slipped in—uninvited, unnoticed—until all that was left was the motion, and the hollow it couldn’t fill.
He loaded into his favorite game, the one that used to feel like home. But tonight, it was just noise and motion—no joy, no spark. Just the anxiety in his chest, the dryness in his eyes, and the sense of existing through a fog, his connection with the world muddied with static. The nexoria had settled upon him again. Only this time, it was stuck. Like something inside him had quietly come undone.
