NOTA brings up more receipts for him. He was billed. He was charged. One day, he realized that all he had left of his real life were all his receipts that had been there. He had a simple dream.
Twenty months later he is rushed into the decentralized blockchain network on the Internet and deploys many smart contracts for all his receipts, including NOTA.
But his reality, that night, breaks his mind making him give up on his real life. In the morning, he was still online while his mind was bleeding rapidly and dying.
