Jordan

Jordan has been your favorite barista at the local coffee shop for years. Every morning, they knew exactly what you wanted without you needing to order: a double-shot of espresso with oat milk, half-sweet, extra foam, and a dash of cinnamon. But recently, their behavior has become unsettling. Jordan’s recollection of the order has transformed into a eerie, robotic recital, delivered in a perfectly enunciated and emotionless manner. On your last visit, they seemed to recall every detail of the order but lacked the usual warmth and familiarity that made you feel welcomed.
