PESAWAT berbadan besar yang kutumpangi melaju cepat meninggalkan London. Penerbangan ini nonstop menuju Singapura. Gadis dengan rambut dikucir dan seperangkat touchscreen di tangan, berisi corat-coret daftar pertanyaan, tersenyum gugup di kursi berlapis kulit asli di sebelahku. Aku sedang tidak berselera untuk tersenyum, cukup menyeringai, menatapnya datar. ”Silakan,” kataku. ”Maaf, wawancara ini sudah berkali-kali ditunda. Kami sudah berusaha menyesuaikan jadwal.

THOMAS is a quiet boy who grows up without emotional attention. At home, he lives under pressure and shame. At school, he is invisible until he discovers a simple truth: attention can be taken from those who are weaker. Laughter becomes validation. Cruelty becomes a shortcut to being seen. For the first time, Thomas feels alive. Years later, Thomas finds another way to be noticed. Not through open violence, but through achievement, status, and quiet superiority. He rises above others and learns to look down on them. Yet changing methods does not erase consequences. The past Thomas never truly faced lingers in silence. As reality slowly catches up and guilt begins to consume him, he is forced to confront a life built entirely around himself. In the end, when understanding arrives too late and no attention can fill the emptiness anymore, Thomas chooses death as his way out. THOMAS is a psychological tragedy about craving validation, ego, and what happens when self-awareness comes after everything has already been lost.
