2.0

This piece of fiction is a bit absurdist, but it still managed to capture how delicate and fragile (and sometimes, not at all likable) people can be, while also provoking your sympathy for them, as they struggle to cope with the complexities of human nature. I would have preferred a concrete end to the story instead of leaving it open-ended and ambiguous. Without a clear resolution, the story feels incomplete and unsatisfying.
