Here we pick up the main narrative thread again. Last time, our protagonist had discovered that the human counsellor he was waiting to see has been replaced by a digital…something. He doesn’t quite know how it’s all going to work, but his mood has improved. And he seems to have left his trousers behind somewhere.

This one is a little out of narrative sequence. Just pretend that your past self read it a month or so ago and it will all make sense.
