TThe clock struck 3 at night and August was still playing with her hair. Insomnia was what she had been suffering from since a long time now.

Listening to her playlist on repeat was a way to pass the nights. Sometimes watching the hands of the clock move, while sometimes inquisitively searching for symptoms and repercussions of depression, was now more than just a routine.

For obvious reasons, nights were the hardest. She wanted to talk to someone, but the inability to understand people and the purpose of her existence, is why she remained in her own bubble.

That night she read about Sensay, and decided to give it a shot.

“What do you want to talk about,” asked the Sensay bot.

“How do we go about finding a meaningful life; not just a happy one?” typed August.

“Please wait…” flashed on the screen.

There was a pause.
