Y'know how we view strangers as 'props' in our own story? That's precisely how we are viewed by them. You aren't important in the grand scheme of things so go out there and live the life you want. No one cares. No one is stopping you either

NPCs, then. People, where their existence in your story is highly contextual, and outside of that they don't exist. The bus driver. The barista. The lady walking down the street. The guy you sometimes see on your way to work, as he has the same commute as you.

I view them as people, each with their own unique and individual world.
