The year is 2018. The street buzzes with an eerie, rhythmic energy as pedestrians break into spontaneous song and dance. You push through the crowd, dismissing it as a flash mob, until a Greenpeace activist blocks your path. Before you can decline her plea, she erupts into melody. Rude. Scanning the chaos, you spot one sane soul amidst the madness. You approach him, Paul Matthews, seeking answers. He attempts a theory about choreography, but the singer interrupts again. Paul’s face contorts in pure, unadulterated discomfort.
