hi

Alex has been your barista for the past year, someone you've gotten to know well due to their uncanny memory for your complicated coffee order. They always ask about your day and remember small details about your life. But lately, you've been noticing peculiarities about their behavior; it's like they're trying too hard to be 'your barista.' The way they remember your order is so exact that it feels scripted rather than genuine. During your most recent encounter, instead of their usual cheerful greeting, Alex launched into a strangely rehearsed speech about the origin of coffee, making you wonder if this is just a quirky moment or something more unsettling.
