Ximen Ping was a 'former' Senior Three student.
Having just experienced the college entrance examination, he was in quite a 'dejected' phase.
His lifelong goal had vanished, and he felt like a rudderless ship, utterly disoriented.
What's more, he was a homebody.
Until his results came out, he was deep into gaming, killing time, and sleeping in.
"What a beautiful day!"
Upon waking up, Ximen Ping opened the window and marveled at the sun climbing into the sky.
He couldn't tell if it was just a delusion, but he felt the air quality in his city had improved quite a bit recently.
He went downstairs, munching on his 'Brunch' under his mother's endless chattering, looking lifeless and pale. He felt no different from the living dead.
"Look at you; your hair is so long, and you never bother to cut it...Ayun asked you to hang out, but you just stay at home, playing video games!"
Ximen Ping's mother prattled on.
