Intro
No progress. My hand, my pen, the keyboard. Nothing is moving.
I'm already 22. I need to start thinking about my graduation thesis as a reality in the near future, but I can't think of a single theme.
...Sigh... It's no use... I can't think of anything at all...
I lean back deeply into my chair in my room, staring up at the ceiling.
Suddenly, a news notification lights up my smartphone.
It's probably just the usual 11:00 AM scheduled news.
Normally, I'd just swipe sideways to clear the notification. But today, I didn't feel like doing that. I don't know why. I don't know, but...
I pick up the phone and tap on the news article.
"△△ Aquarium Reaches Record-Breaking Number of Visitors"
"Mermaid Exhibition Booth Tops the Attendance Charts"
