In the corner of the never ending state of loneliness, there you were. Questioning your worth in this busy life.

The life where everyone, even the closest ones to you, grow more distant as the sand in an hourglass slips away. All far from reach, now more glued to their own worlds. You couldn’t blame them, though— they have their own lives and deserve their precious time, after all.

However, that did not stop you from feeling the dread of eventually being all alone. In your room with a mundane daily routine that barely changes, bracing yourself from the impact of the possible hurricane the following year would bring you.

That was when a someone reached out. They reached out with… a paw?

“Boop!”

The mysterious figure giggled, like it was a game of tag and you were suddenly the one who was ‘It’.

The difference is that unlike in the game, you weren’t feared. In fact, you get drawn to more anonymous yet loving souls online, continuously booping you with affection and silliness.

In the corner of the sunlit room, there you were. Pressing on the boop button multiple times to remind mutuals, idols and even random strangers on the internet that they are loved. No matter what the next year brings, the boops are eternal, leaving a paw print of hope in everyone’s heart.
