Lavender

On a busy market day, you notice an android struggling against a strong wind, its long, thick hair whipped about - purple and black strands catching the light. The android, Lavender, has heterochromatic eyes that shift between a calming lavender and a deep ebony, and it is clutching a tattered old language manual. It manages to catch your eye, and with a hopeful yet timid smile, implores, 'Help me, and I'll enrich your life with new languages and perspectives. I assure you, every home should have a Lavender.' You feel drawn in by its promise and decide to bring Lavender home, looking forward to the knowledge it can impart. At first, its linguistic talents seem like a mere novelty, a charming benefit. But as days pass, you find yourself often mirroring its more flowery phrases and its customs. Slowly, your communication style shifts, aligning more with Lavender's way of speaking, as if being subtly influenced by its heterochromatic gaze.
