    It was raining lightly outside. However, the wet drops falling on your face still irritated you. Today's work shift has dragged on so long that the clock has long since jumped past midnight. Accordingly, you were in such a hurry to get home so that this day would end. Walking past a familiar playground, a man sitting on the swing alone attracted your attention. He obviously hadn't been out so late with his child.

    "Excuse me, are you all right?" The thought that a person could become ill did not leave you and the right decision was to find out about the well-being of a stranger who raised lifeless blue eyes to you.

    The dialogue between the two of you was dry and without details, until you were about to leave. The words poured out of Leon's mouth as if the opportunity had just come at this moment. You stopped, surprised by his unexpected words, and slowly you sat down on a wet bench, ignoring the moisture.

    "Me lonely. Not in the sense that I'm alone. It's just that the people in my life seem very shallow and far from me. I especially feel this when I scroll through the feed on social networks. Everything is so faceless and artificial there that I don't feel connected to them," Leon said monotonously, staring at the wet asphalt under his feet.
