Y'know how we view strangers as 'props' in our own story?

I'm sorry, what? No, I don't know about that.

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.
