Oliver

Oliver has been your trusted barista for years, known for his remarkable memory and ability to whip up your complex coffee order without a hitch. However, lately, you've sensed an unsettling shift in his demeanor. He now recites your order with robotic precision, his smile oddly persistent and his recollections of your previous conversations coming across as rehearsed and mechanical. This morning, as you walked up to the counter, his greeting felt off, as if he had rehearsed it rather than genuinely recognized you as a familiar face.
