*Buzzzzz*

TV turns on.

CNN: "Morning news! It's a black Monday for the Social Media Giant, as its stock price plunges, down 50%..."

Bloomberg: "People all over the world had an unusual weekend as Tech Giant's largest social media platform becomes unavailable, Friday night..."

FOX News: "...FriendBook, the biggest social media platform hits floor price at $10,000/share afar from its $20,000 closing price last Friday. Reports suggest that traders panic over unresolved downtime for the third consecutive day."

Aljazeera: "...Tech Giant assures the public that services will be back in 48 hrs... In other news..."

TV becomes inaudible in the busy cafe.

"What the hell is FriendBook?"

An old man with a white mustache says after overhearing the news while he sips coffee from his cup and continues reading the daily newspaper..

He wears dark glasses and a brown fur jacket.
