The Coach

Lately I’ve been keeping up with exercising, taking group classes at Lefit. The teacher was late yesterday, today he brought small gifts for the classmates who continued attending his class - a blind box toy.

This kind of apology made me a bit sad. It’s not unhappiness, but a complex feeling. After all, this is Beijing, everyone’s an NPC - he to me, me to him, we’re just a string of IDs in the Lefit system. He already apologized to everyone yesterday, no need to compensate again today.

Later, I went to check the teacher’s profile. He’s been on Lefit for 1100 days.

Over a thousand days, he’s also repeating, striving, persisting in this city, just like me.
