Reacquainting Each Other

After being brought home, Kary and Alex bid farewell to the former's mother before returning to the penthouse. They still had things to do, but most of these things could be done online.

Alex started by ordering a new phone, and much to his discontent, no more older-gen models were available. He was forced to buy a neuro-phone.

He paid for same-day delivery, and the small electronic device was delivered by drone directly to his balcony in an hour.

This wasn't the only thing he ordered, as he still had to replace every identity card he owned, as well as his bank cards and different membership cards.

Most of them were quickly delivered to him, but the bank and government-issued ID cards would take a few days. But, at least he still had access to all his accounts through the neuro-phone.

This allowed him to order replacements for the broken furniture, and this took a large part of the afternoon, as Kary wanted to help him pick them out.
