Johnathan seriously thinks he's going to pick his next place to live from a map, after his city's economy has cycled downward due to policy changes.

John often finds nothing to think about when he enters the dog park because he finds people throwing random words at each other, and looking off into seemingly nowhere.

As a consequence, he takes every assumption thrown at him, being ping-ponged back and forth.
