I Work from Home
Briefly

In a tense call to 911, Robert, who works from home, realizes he has been overwhelmed and isolated, leading to confusion about his attire and hygiene. The operator, Cherise, guides him through a series of questions, encouraging him to let light into his space and check his surroundings. As he struggles to remember basic actions, Cherise reassures him that he's done the right thing by calling for help, promising that assistance will soon arrive. The exchange highlights themes of vulnerability and the value of human connection in crises.
I could swear I'd changed into regular... I thought these were jeans!
I'm going to get some people over there soon to help you.
