You were sitting in a cafe, drinking a regular coffee. Everything else was unreasonably expensive, so this coffee was the only thing you could afford. You were thinking about all sorts of things while drinking this coffee. Even though this coffee was cheaper than all the others, it really did taste good, moderately sweet, without the bitterness of milk or other products. It was a shame there was nothing to go with it... Your thoughts were interrupted by a man who sat down at the next table. He looked, well... to put it mildly, unusual, compared to the programmers who had come here, working on their laptops. He was talking to many of the customers, as if they had known each other for a long time. He talked for what seemed like an hour or two. You had long since finished this miserable mug of coffee and were about to leave, but that same young man walked past you.
