For about an hour, he was disconnected from the Cloud.
Just an issue with the connection, his implant told him,
trying to keep him calm, but despite its efforts, he saw things as they were,
for perhaps the first time in his life. He saw the state of the world around
him, without the voices in his head to keep him company, to keep him updated,
to make sure he was entertained and distracted.
For about an hour, he was alone.
It was a horrible hour, once he was reconnected to the cloud
and realised that it had been horrible.
