Quotes
Jordan: I don't want to do this anymore. I fucking hate the internet. I just want it to be the early 2000s. I want to be young again.

Crazy credits
The opening credits are displayed at six minutes, appearing in a circle of purple envelopes, one of them being addressed to Jordan.

Snail Mail Derail...

A vaguely fascinating concept, though the premise is quite inept, if a pair can get together, wearing masks they don't untether. Can't imagine hooking up, at least sneaking a tiny look, unless you are the type or kind, who likes to be deaf, dumb and blind - which is fine, but you'd need a pretty good pairing algorithm to know that!
