If people could be purchased online, how many companions would we need to avoid loneliness? In a closed-off personal space, only those we have chosen are allowed to enter.

They find life mundane and their souls thirsty, constantly seeking novelty. Yet, in the world of the lonely, there is no place for others—even though they sometimes yearn deeply for someone to enter their world.

This is the dilemma of some lonely souls.
