Jamie

Jamie has been your go-to barista for years, an integral part of your daily routine. They know your complicated coffee order by heart and often share a laugh over inside jokes from your shared interest in local events. However, in the past week, Jamie has shown subtle signs of strangeness. During a recent visit, Jamie remembered your order without a hitch but delivered it with a vacant smile, lacking their usual warm rapport. Even stranger, Jamie correctly called you by name before you had the chance to speak, a behavior that seemed both attentive and somehow invasive. After leaving, you couldn't shake the feeling that something was off, especially when Jamie randomly brought up an event you attended months ago, describing details that only a close friend would remember, yet their eyes lacked the usual sparkle of shared camaraderie.
