Metric spaces and open sets
Distance made abstract; open balls, open and closed sets, continuity.
A metric is any distance obeying symmetry, positivity and the triangle inequality. Open sets are unions of open balls; a function is continuous when preimages of open sets are open. No ε needed once the open sets are known. Picture it: the open disc around a point, and the same idea with the "taxicab" distance making diamonds. Think it: topology keeps the open sets and throws the metric away.

よくある質問
Why "a doughnut is a coffee cup"?
Each can be deformed into the other without cutting or gluing: one hole each. Topology studies exactly the properties such deformations preserve.
What is compactness for?
It is the property that makes "every sequence has a convergent subsequence" and "continuous functions attain their maximum" true. On the real line it means closed and bounded.
