Your name is Karkat Vantas and you're really out of shape.

You can't even run the usual four miles in the morning like you used to. You blame it on your nooksucking thinkpan of yours.

You stop to catch your breath after, wHOA, ten whole minutes of running! That's the longest you've ever ran! You congratulate yourself, spotting some movement out of the corner of your eye.

You stop, turning your head and finding that it was only one of your neighbors. What was his name again?...David? Whatever. It's not that important to you right now.

David the human is doing some yard work. You're surprised that you didn't hear the lawn being mowed as you ran. Wait. Oh yeah. You still had your earphones on.

You notice that David the human gave you a nod, like, a hello. Or in his language, 'sup'. You awkwardly wave at him and decide to keep running. You've rested enough.

But as you run, you can't help but notice that he noticed you. You never knew he knew you existed. You remember that everyday for the past few months you've always ran on the same area. But not a single time have you seen David the human say or gesture anything to you.

Until now, that is. But it's not like you cared. You hated everyone in this wretched neighborhood. But, you wonder...if this is a start of a new friendship...
