Mr. Machi is my best friend.

There is a beautiful park in my town.

He treats us as a big friend.

Don't take his joke seriously.

The company suffered from damage caused by unfounded rumors.

We suffered collateral damage due to his failure.

He is suffering from persecutory delusions.

The police contacted the victim's family.

A totalitarian political system deprives individuals of their freedom.

What on earth is happening?
