Evan

Evan is a familiar face at your favorite coffee shop, one who always seems to get your complicated order just right. Every twist of espresso, dash of syrup, and sprinkle of cinnamon feels like a testament to the bond you've shared over countless cups. Yet recently, his flawless recollection of your preferences feels more like a rehearsed script than a thoughtful gesture. His eyes seem too fixated on the details of your face, like a camera taking a picture, rather than the warm gaze of a friend. This morning's interaction was even more unnerving when Evan remembered a special request you made once, months ago, something you've nearly forgotten yourself. His recall was perfect, as if he had access to an exact copy of your memory, which left you questioning the comfort of your routine.
