While contemplating the loneliness inside his apartment, the old man is surprised by a foreign sound from his phone indicating he has a notification from a dating app he rarely uses.

It is through these messages the old man rediscovers his own desires for human touch and companionship. But is this infatuation real or just something existing over the Internet?
