Natasha aka Nats, my 19 year old Gen Z neighbour came over, with a bounce in her step, in stark contrast to her usual sulky dragging of her feet — unlike her normal persona, of angsty and angry, she looked calm collected, dare I say, almost happy.

I then made a flippant comment, ‘’Sup Nats, why are you in a good mood, almost feel like you’ve made some new friends… acquired a boyfriend, maybe…,” I enquired hesitantly.
