boredom
He's under the impression that his boredom makes him unique. He believes it's a sign of superior intelligence.
eventful
Quarantined at home, she wears an evening gown to her microwaved dinner.
inevitability

innocence

pasty-faced

upcycled

walking
The day is made better by changing leaves and weather that's cool, not cold.
