This is going to sound stuck-in-the-city naive but I completely forgot that most people’s exposure to other people is through traffic. No wonder why we’re afraid of strangers — we only see them when they’re wearing two tons of body armor.
This is why we live in cities. Instead of around them.

War correspondent Lee Miller taking a bath in Hitler’s own bathtub, inside his abandoned apartment. The photo was taken on the same day that Hitler committed suicide. Munich, Germany, April 30, 1945.
When the photo came out, it was considered an extremely poor judgement. For some, Miller posing nude in the tub of one of the most repulsive men in history was nothing more than a ill-timed reflection of the adage, “To the victor goes the spoils”. For others, it represents the power of life over death, “The living do what they can and the dead suffer what they must”. Lee Miller herself shied away from the controversies by reproducing the image very rarely and noted that she was merely trying to wash the odors of Dachau away.

lucubrate - verb, to work, write or study, especially laboriously at night.
Separated from his friends and family in India, Alan would lucubrate deep into the night to educate himself to employment-ready, so he could one day purchase a fine American auto. And one, of course, that he could be proud of.
