I’m out for a walk when someone I don’t know starts a video call.
I sit on a bench to catch my breath, and a video call from someone I don’t know pops up on my screen.
Scenes
- The Screen Turned On First — I sit on a bench during my walk when a video call comes in from an unknown number. Before I answer, my hand freezes as I wonder if my face might already be on screen.
- A Call Connects Both Sides — When I answer a video call, the other person may see not only my face but also what’s behind me. If I don’t know them yet, I can decide whether to answer in the first place.
- You Don’t Have to Answer Today — Tonight, if a video call comes from an unknown number, try closing the screen without answering. I can’t tell whether it’s urgent, but I can decide whether to pick up.
- I Decide Whether to Connect — Even if someone I don’t know video-calls me, I can decide not to answer. The next time the screen lights up, I can first check what might be visible.
- The Walk Goes On — Even after I don’t answer, the path is still there. Each time the screen lights up, I’m the one who decides whether to show my face.
