This is exactly how I, Julia felt about my life. I'm disabled and spend most days home so very lonely. Until one day I found an app on my Dried phone that would pass my time away and make me feel the bond of another. Needed and wanted, something to exist for when I was lonely. Until even when I wasn't lonely she needed me. This is when everything started to go wrong, people started dying, and I find myself waking up to having nothing of the current times any longer.
