PANDEMIC, AH! WHAT DID THAT CONSIST OF? EVEN THOUGH WE TRY TO ESTIMATE HOW MANY FEET SEPARATE US FROM ONE ANOTHER WHEN WE PRETEND TO BE MIMES, WE'RE NOT PRECISELY SURE WHAT A 1-METER DISTANCE IS. THAT DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT. JUNE, A 19-YEAR-OLD STUDENT, IS UNAFFECTED BY THIS. HIS BROWN HAIR IS DISHEVELED AND LOOKS LIKE DEAD PAN BREAD, BUT THAT DOESN'T BOTHER HIM.
HE HAD A WEARY EXPRESSION IN HIS EYES THAT SUGGESTED HE WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY THINKING, PERHAPS BECAUSE HE WAS BORED OF THE DESOLATE SURROUNDINGS THAT GAVE THE CITY HALL THE APPEARANCE OF BEING ABANDONED, OR PERHAPS HE WAS SIMPLY TIRED OF THE PLACE THAT HAD ONCE BEEN A LIVELY METROPOLIS WITH FOREIGNERS LINING THE STREETS WITH THEIR FEET. WITH BOTH ARMS INSIDE THE РОСКЕТ, HE STRUGGLED TO CATCH HIS BREATH AND SAID,
"THESE FACE MASKS SURE DO WANT TO SUFFOCATE US MORE THAN HELP." HE WAS STILL GETTING USED TO THE EMPTY STREETS AND THE RUMBLING FOOTSTEPS OF THE TOWN PEOPLE, SO EVERY STEP FELT AWKWARD.
ALL INTROVERTS OUT THERE, UNITE! WITHIN OUR OWN ROOMS. JOKING ASIDE, BOOKS BECOME POPULAR BECAUSE THEY REKINDLE MEMORIES THAT SPAN TIME. ARE PEOPLE ABSENT? JUNE WON'T HAVE ANY ISSUES BECAUSE THERE ARE A TON OF BOOKS IN THE LIBRARY TO TALK ABOUT IN THE BOOK BETWEEN US.
