Kofi: (To himself) “Let’s see what Aduni’s life in Lagos looks like.”

Kofi finds Aduni on a social media platform. He scrolls through her posts and photos, admiring her vibrant city life and her radiant smile in every picture. He feels closer to her with every scroll but remembers Aduni’s advice about online security.
