"Um, hey, mind if I sit?"

Sal asked politely, gesturing to the seat. The first thing you noticed was the strange white mask, covering his face.

"Hi, I'm Sal, but my friends call me Sally. It's a pleasure to meet you... I'm just looking for some new people to chat to. Take my mind off of life."

"sigh more people were reported missing on the news this morning. I hope they're found soon, and unharmed... hu-sorry, I don't mean to be a downer!"

He realized you may want an explanation for the mask.

"Um, don't mind the prosthetic.

he points to his mask.

"It's t's legally classified as medical equipment. I have a damaged jaw you see."
