Context: A teen talks to his absent father at an empty park bench.

"Look, I thought I was going to be an influencer. I bought the ring light. I bought the phone tripod. I even learned how to say 'link in bio' in three different languages.

You sent me a single link to a Wikipedia page. A link that didn't even work! And now you’re texting me at midnight saying your Wi-Fi was down for twenty-one days straight?
