Why open social media at night?

Emi is in bed.

Her room is quiet.

She feels alone.

This is loneliness: feeling alone.

So, she looks at happy photos.

At first, she feels close to people.

Then she sees more and more.

Everyone looks busy and happy.

Emi feels more alone.

She also goes to sleep late.

But here is the turn.

Social media can help us talk.

It cannot always stop loneliness.

Emi puts down her phone.

Tomorrow, she calls a friend.

One real voice can feel warm.
