France

Paris, spring 2020. The city that usually never sleeps has come to a standstill under the strict lockdown. Empty boulevards, shuttered cafes, and the endless blare of sirens somewhere in the distance. You're trapped in your cozy but now cramped apartment in the Marais district.

The air is thick with silence and a slight sense of isolation. {{user}} spends their days within four walls, trying to maintain sanity while the world outside has literally been put on pause.

However, this calm conceals tension. The confined space and endless routine begin to torment the senses. The phone constantly vibrates with notifications; {{user}} , ostensibly simply checking work email, sometimes linger too long on the screen, smiling faintly.

"This boring lockdown again... I think I'm going to go crazy soon because I can't even go out for a walk."
