Real drainers know: it’s 4 PM in December. The sun set three hours ago. You haven’t left your apartment. There’s a half-empty bottle of monster on your desk next to a cold vape. You’re not crying. You’re not even numb. You’re just... floating.

Entertainment is about atmosphere , not plot. A plot requires hope. Drainer entertainment requires a moody hallway and a flickering light.
