Abracadabra
A person uses impressive phrases to seem cultured, only to discover they're just song lyrics, leading to isolation.
This is an English translation of a story originally written in Korean by the
Hwasee.bang community, one sentence at a time.
Each sentence was submitted separately and chosen by community vote before the next one could be written. Nobody knew how it would end.

It was a cool-looking sentence I'd seen somewhere before, and I used it whenever I wanted to appear impressive.
Then a friend threw a joke at me: "Isn't that just a song title?"
To think this person would treat such a meaningful sentence as mere lyrics—clearly our intellectual levels didn't align.
That was also why I spent so much time memorizing all sorts of impressive-sounding phrases to elevate my own intellectual standard.
But to this day, I have never met a single person who fully understood what I was trying to say.
And so, standing alone in my own impressiveness, I eventually became a person who only conversed with myself.
