a dream in the world of social media

Two people are face-to-face having a conversation. As the conversation lengthens, one person taps into the emotions of the second. The second henceforth pours her feelings out and may be having a mini breakdown. The other person has listened to everything the acquaintance has said, stops, and leaves. In the meantime the emotional person excuses the silent one's behavior as an either lack of concern or sudden preoccupation elsewhere. Both excuses are practical. Hours later the emotional one feels a poke at her back. She turns, and no one is there. The end.
