A short story about a modern boy who is taken to a silent meditation camp with his family after a fight at school. He was defending himself which went unnoticed, and the story begins with him feeling isolating and alone and trying to escape reality through video games. As he works through the meditation camp, he learns about the importance of community over isolation, and has a new perspective on what's important to him.
