Ah, the struggles of waking up with a heavy heart! Our protagonist begins the day still reeling from yesterday's disappointments, attempting to shake off the lingering sadness with a short, 15-minute POST session. Alas, the feeling persists, similar to a phantom hangover, though no alcohol was involved. The culprit? Perhaps the exhaustion from being awake for approximately 40 hours.
Yearning for connection, our hero looks forward to playing with his dear friend Sören, only to find out that Sören has moved on to play with Van instead. Disheartened, he seeks solace in a small victory: ordering the official dock for his Steam Deck. With new I/O options and the ability to attach a screen, our protagonist dreams of the gaming sessions that await him and Sören in the future.
Amidst the emotional turmoil, our hero experiences a mix of physical sensations - passion and affection for his friend Sören - separate yet powerful feelings that leave him puzzled. Could these emotions be tied to his recent blood test results? The mystery remains unsolved.
Nonetheless, life goes on, and our protagonist must attend to his duties - working on ACARIS and Nikolaj's projects. A silver lining appears as he discovers a tax refund of $500, which he uses to cover server costs, accountant fees, the Steam Deck dock, food, and even... lube. With some money still left over, it's a small victory in the grand scheme of things.
As the day wears on, our hero feels the weight of it all at 4:11 pm. He contemplates calling it a day and returning home, yearning for respite. Will he find the reprieve he seeks? Stay tuned for the next chapter in this rollercoaster of a tale.
