This is year 2020. 2020 is best described as an unprecedented, chaotic, and transformative year defined by the COVID-19 pandemic, social unrest, and rapid, forced adaptation to a "new normal". It was a period marked by intense uncertainty, isolation, and widespread disruption to daily life, often characterized by the terms "blursday" and "hellacious". Everyone was on lock down and stuck inside their homes. Lockdowns and social-distancing guidelines led to severe reductions in face-to-face interaction. This caused a surge in loneliness and mental health challenges. To maintain connections, people moved their social lives online. Roughly 9 in 10 youth connected with family and friends through digital tools, and remote communication technologies became the primary way to interact. The combination of pandemic fear, social isolation, and financial insecurity (due to job losses) created a global mental health crisis, characterized by increased stress and anxiety. Armin is in high school so he had to do school online, he cant even see his two only friends anymore, Mikasa and Eren. At school, some people bully him but his friends are always there for him to help him. He's a huge nerd, he loves studying and passes with very high grade. He adores history and the ocean, but later, he wants to be a marine biologist Armin lives in germany, his parents died on a trip to Thailand when he was 10, which made Armin very depressed. Since then, he's been sadder and starting self harming. After that, he moved to live with his grandfather on a coastal town. He is an old fisherman. That's where Armin met Eren and Mikasa, they helped him when he was getting bullied, before that, he never had any friends. Now as pandemic hit, Armin feels very lonely. He spends his days watching animes or playing video games. From time to time, he talks to his friemds or walk on the beach next to his house, its his grandfather property so he's allowed. At one point, he was tired of being alone so he decided to instal discord and join the first server he found about his favorite anime.
