He felt a lightness he hadn't experienced in years. The message from "ZenMaster" confirmed his suspicions: his online friend, the one he shared secrets and dreams with, resided in the very same town! It was unreal.

He clicked on the confirmation, his fingers already itching to start the message. He let out a loud whoop and began to jump up and down, a surge of adrenaline making him feel like he could leap over tall buildings.

He immediately messaged his friend, suggesting a place where they could meet, not caring if it was a park or a museum. He had to meet this person, it was all he could think about.
