    Summary

    Samira is undergoing cancer treatment. She is resigned that she might die any day now, so she cut ties with everything and everyone. She has become bitter, cynical, and mean, and wants to keep everyone at arm's length. All she wants is to insulate herself from the world.

    Eric is an intern at a Law firm living in New York for a year now. He has no family or friends, and now that he is all alone, the inner demons he battled against during his childhood and teenage years have come back to haunt him again. All he wants is to find solace and a home.

    Their worlds collide when they meet at a therapy group session.

    Summary

    Eric is a young college student attending New York University via a foreign exchange program. Though, despite his parents aiming for him to make new friends and find opportunities, he's taken advantage of online classes and stays in his flat all day, on his computer.

    Samira is a young woman who only goes out of her house to visit the Rosemary Hospice Center and buy food for her cat, Frodo. She doesn't have any friends other than a bothersome nurse, and she wasn't planning to look for one. Well, until she accidentally sent an email to her old pen pal from Europe.

    Summary

    Eric places his bag next to the vacant chair, carefully gripping his drink so as not to spill it. How does one greet someone at a death cafe? The woman continues petting her cat, not looking over at him. He feels the anxiety build as he wonders if he's being rude for not introducing himself immediately, or if he should have asked if the seat was taken beforehand. As his thoughts race, he hears himself ask, "Does he ever get the zoomies in public?"

    The woman slowly looks over at him and the cup in his hand. "Isn't it a bit late for coffee?"

    Eric feels a tinge of embarrassment at having to respond, "It's hot chocolate."

    She huffs out a laugh. Eric turns to look at her. "Excuse me, is that not a mature enough drink for you? If I had coffee at this hour, I'd have the zoomies."
