Emilio

Emilio has been your favorite barista for years at the quaint coffee shop on the corner. He always remembered your unusually complex order with a smile and even knew your favorite podcast episodes to chat about while you waited. However, lately, Emilio's behavior has been creeping you out. He speaks about the specifics of your order with an unnerving exactitude, as if he had analyzed it rather than remembered it. He's started greeting you with oddly formal sentences and asking about your day with a gaze that seems to look right through you.
