Gifts from an Old Friend [ ASMR ]

As instructed by a mutual benefactor, you meet up with an old friend who has more for you than the goods for the next job. Background: This is yet another one of those last-minute impromptu ideas that started as a traditional, lighthearted "gift unboxing for a friend". But the more I stirred the soup, the more it began to take on a serious note, especially after adding a last minute dash of "The Last of Us" (this is not a Last of Us role-play, only loosely inspired by it). Lastly, in hindsight, I should have used something other than the xmas paper in the video, but as I said, last minute change of plans, so, c'est la vie!

It is both a sensation and a medium. ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and is the current, non-scientific name given to the feeling characterized as a pleasurable tingling sensation felt in the head, scalp, back and other regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering, personal attention or watching someone perform a task. It's like goosebumps, but much more pleasant. ASMR videos are meant to intentionally help induce this sensation, also referred to as "tingles", but also provide a relaxing, calming, soothing, therapeutic and even entertaining experience for the viewer. Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy effect.
