"Yo. Man, I gotta say, " Tyler started. "That job is horrible for you. Why don't you just quit? Take YouTube fulltime."

"Oh, I don't know, man. YouTube works really slow for me these days. I don't wanna rely on it too much," Anthony sighed, taking a quick sip on his drink.

"At least quit this job you're doing now."

"And then what?"

"I don't know, maybe look for another?"

"Are you crazy, Tyler? I don't have time to look for a new job. Besides it's hard these days."

"Alright, chill out. I was only saying things," he shrugged. "Speaking of YouTube, are you gonna' post something? I see that you haven't post anything these past weeks."

"I dunno, man. I have some file but," Anthony paused. "I guess I've been lazy lately."

"Yeah, I can see that," Tyler expressed. "You okay, Anthony?"

"I'll be fine." Will?

"Well, do you need help with editing and stuff?"

"Nah, I am good. I just need to work on the thumbnail. That, I'm not good with."

On his cam, Tyler pursed his lips, before finally spoke up. "Do you know anyone else that could, y'know?"

Else? Like Tyler could already read his thought.

"Not for now. I'm just gonna' edit some pictures I guess."

"Do you need to contact one of my friends? He does my thumbnail. I am sure he'll be happy to do yours."

"Nah, that'd be too weird. I told you, I am good, Tyler."

"Alright, just checking on you, man. If there's anything I can do, I'm just six hours away. Alright?"

Anthony couldn't help but laughed. "Yeah of course, I appreciate it man, thanks."

With that Tyler's Discord and his GMod character left the lobby. There, the homeless panda was left alone, contemplating with his life.

So Anthony's body was getting better, with less fever. But The Boss was getting worse and worse everyday. Yesterday he had to deal with another dramatic entrance after the boss found out that the store had a loss on couple of broken supplies. He didn't blame Anthony this time, but his behavior towards the other staff members really annoyed him. If he had known his promotion would've led to dealing with this stupid jerk, he wouldn't accepted it.

So many times Anthony had thought of resigning from the position, escaping this stressful environment. He could look for another job; but he knew the world hadn't been so kind to him, especially with jobs.

He could listen to Tyler's advice, be a full-time YouTuber, like most of his friends, really. For a moment it was a great idea, he really did think it was. But with him, he felt the lack of interest to provide more consistent content. Don't get him wrong, he loved playing games and recording them, and shared it to the world, but something really pulling him out of it lately. He was struggling to upload a video, any video. Probably because he hadn't got the time.

Maybe that job really caused a lot in his life.

It was around 10 pm when he and friends finished a GMod session just then. He took a quick getaway to the bathroom to wash his face, looking at the mirror as he did. There, he saw someone so... pathetic, so sad, so fucked up.

Anthony laid there on his bed, eyes wide open, looking straight to the ceiling. It was late and he wasn't suppose to do it. He was supposed to sleep, relax, so tomorrow would be better. But he couldn't. The last option he could do was to grab his phone and scrolled down the social media; looking for some tweets or some memes that could amuse him, and hopefully bring him to sleep.

He found no inspiration, whatsoever. Instead he saw Melina's instagram profile. With an heavy heart, he scrolled down, and down, and down, until he reached her first ever picture.

Only then he finally went into deep sleep two hours later.
