Killing Time at Home

A man lives alone in his empty room, and when he feels lonely, he orders a "pet" online to keep him company. After a period of sweet and happy times, the owner becomes tired of it. The "pet" is locked in a room, and in its despair, it discovers that there are countless others like it, all sharing the same fate. This ending provokes reflection; it reflects not just abandoned things, but also our tendency to seek novelty.

In this complicated society, in an era full of fast food culture, the gap between people grows ever wider. Don't you often sit alone at home, savoring your solitude? You have plenty of friends, but they're all conveniently busy, leaving a vast emptiness both around you and within. So loneliness becomes like a wardrobe or a refrigerator, where the owner, much like shopping on Taobao, seeks to fill the void in their heart with curiosities. When something catches their eye, or someone else is also looking to alleviate their loneliness, affection develops quickly. But does intimacy mean there's real emotion? Don't be foolish; we're merely entertaining and being entertained. We appear and disappear at the right time, never attempting to invade or allow entry into each other's personal space. Isn't that clever? It seems everyone agrees with this approach.
