You are 100% correct, I think.

So there's research on this kind of thing.

So saying that even fictional connections with characters in a book can also simulate, like you said, scratch the itch.

I think it's missing the person-to-person part of it.

So even the figure is fictional.

It has its own characteristics, its behavior pattern, its history, its relationships with other peoples around the character.

But I think crossover puzzle is lacking the human or connection part of it.

So even for, let's say, I play some games myself, after a while, people also get bored if you do it for too long.

I think that is more on, let's say, it's not a replacement for social activity or social participation, that kind of thing.

But from my perspective, it's more about get prepared and have more flexibility as a second line of defense.

So as you can see, the sample of this study is not exactly older people, like 65 years above or 75 years above.

So I'm trying to examine, let's say, having or build that kind of routine early on and, let's say, keep it up as you're getting older and somehow get prepared, let's say, with something, let's say, you're familiar with, you enjoy.

As I figure that out early on, that can be a very helpful thing.

so it's more about i say uh get prepared and it's not say just socialize more and if you won't do that that's perfectly fine but i think it's like say having some backups

Yeah, so I think that will be my next step.

So we also know that many other people may encounter some sensory barriers, like reading issues or even hearing issues.

I think having more flexibility here can be a very useful thing.

So I think we should explore all the possibilities.

So one thing here is maybe we, as I mentioned, as I mentioned, maybe sensory issues, when sensory issues comes up, maybe we should identify, get more evidence about whether those things can be a real problem.

like say buffer or protector against loneliness for people who need it.
