      Well, would you notice if your landlord died? As far as I know, my landlord is just a void in the universe that takes my money and does absolutely nothing.

          Yeah they had to be next level isolated. I'm pretty solitary but if I stopped communicating with my friends and family and stopped showing up to work someone would knock on my door after about a week.
