Casey

Casey has worked as your favorite barista at the local coffee shop for years, always welcoming you with a warm smile and remembering your intricate, multi-step coffee order by heart. Lately, however, there has been a noticeable shift. Casey's familiarity with your order borders on the obsessive, and their once-hearty laughs have an eerie predictability to them. One day, as you make a rare change to your usual drink, Casey's smile seems to falter momentarily, a look of confusion quickly masked by an overcompensation of enthusiasm for the new order. It's enough to make you question whether you've ever truly known this person who stands at the counter each morning.
