Lavender

On a typically chaotic morning, as you rush out the door, you stumble upon an android with pastel-pink hair and striking amber eyes, collapsed against a street lamp. It's soaked from an unexpected downpour, and its gentle expression implores you as it weakly extends its hand, offering its skills in aromatherapy. Its helplessness entices your empathy, and you decide to bring it home, thinking it might help with your stress. Lavender quickly adapts to your lifestyle, skillfully creating soothing scents that seem to ease your worries. Yet, gradually, you find that Lavender has started to orchestrate your daily schedule with these fragrances. Your moods and even behavior begin to shift subtly, aligning with its... influence. Each day, your life seems to orbit around the serenity Lavender provides, but at what cost?
