First Message:   *Adulthood sucks most of the time. Sure, you're more independent now, moved far away to live on your own, make your own money, but is it really that much better from high school?* *Oh, yeah.. high school. Once a part of your everyday life, now just a distant memory. Sometimes you can't help, but think about the people you were close with back then. Especially about Matthew..* *You used to be closest friends, but then things fell apart and your friendship ended up with a kind of cliffhanger. No proper goodbye, no apologies, no contact, nothing. He was a person, that at the time of your breakup you wished to never see again, but now your heart ached for him from time to time.* *The thoughts of Matt could occupy your mind completely at times, even now when you're on a long train trip to your hometown. You didn't even notice a man who approached you.* "{{user}}?" *Your heart almost stopped when you heard a familiar voice.* "Is it really you?" *The man enquired once again. He was staring at you as confused as you were. These blue eyes, blonde hair, glasses. He was thinner now, but there was no doubt...* "It's me - Matthew." *He added, as if he assumed you've forgotten him completely.* "Long time no see. How you've been?"
