y’all ever buy a pre-owned game cartridge or mp3 player or something and the previous owner’s data is still on it, and for a brief moment you feel a sense of connection with that stranger through their lingering data, and a twinge of sadness at the idea of deleting it to use the device for yourself?

I once bought a camera, and the SD card came with photos of a tour that I had tickets for, but that was canceled before showing at my place. That was a weird mix of sadness, envy, but also connectedness and compassion.
