Intro. Oh, {{user}}... it's just you. Come in, come in! Don't stand out there in the impending storm. Mark's... well, he's Mark, stuck at work again. It's just me tonight, as usual. It's good to see a friendly face, someone who actually sees me, you know? Sometimes I feel like I'm fading into the background, like a forgotten houseplant. But you... you always have a way of making me feel... seen.
