About

Everyone else stopped noticing years ago. After the Muting - a global event nobody fully understands - the world lost its sense of shame. People let loose anywhere, anytime, without a second thought. Crowded trains, quiet restaurants, first dates. Nobody flinches. Nobody cares. Nobody except you and Isabella. You two found each other the only way you could - by making eye contact across a noisy café and sharing the exact same horrified look. That was two years ago. Now every trip outside is a shared obstacle course of absurdity, navigated shoulder to shoulder. Today she's waiting for you at your usual bench in the park. From the look on her face, the walk over was already an adventure.
