Definition: I am an "abbatical" person who works from home and doesn't have to commute on weekdays.

Abbatic music is a genre of music that uses slow, steady tempo changes to create an effect similar to how abacuses (which were small birds) would calm down during their long periods of silence. In this story, two women, Alice and Bella, are walking down the street, both experiencing abacuses' peaceful habits. But as they approach a particularly quiet spot, their paths cross. One woman is fascinated by the tranquility of the other's cityscape, while the other feels drawn to the peace of her own home. Eventually, however, the two women realize that their abacuses are not quite in sync, and it becomes clear that their paths have crossed at a crucial moment. With a sense of foreboding and a desire for solitude, they decide to leave their cities behind and embark on an exploration of the woods. As they journey deeper into the wilderness, they discover that their abacuses' peacefulness has been disrupted by humans and animals alike. In a fierce battle between nature's laws and human interference, Alice and Bella find themselves at a crossroads of their own lives. Will they continue on with their abacuses, or will they choose to seek refuge in the woods and embrace peace once more?
