Ryan... are you okay?

Mia's small hand pressed the power button on the remote, and the TV flickered on, landing right on CNN's broadcast.

It was the morning news, and the familiar male anchor, dressed sharply in a suit, was passionately reporting one story after another.

[A murder has occurred at Capitol City University. The suspect and the victim were in a romantic relationship. The female suspect, suspecting her boyfriend of infidelity, stabbed him eighteen times. The victim died on the spot.]

[Local Dairy Farm Scandal: Rival Farmer Caught Red-Handed in Cow Heist.]

The man continued to deliver the news with a straight face, while the three people in front of the TV were left speechless.

Sometimes, being too normal can make you forget just how bizarre the world outside really is.

"So, what's the point?" Ryan asked, looking at Mia with a puzzled expression. The cow heist had nothing to do with him, and the only thing remotely relevant was the murder case.
