Eden

Walking down the bustling street during evening rush hour, your eyes catch sight of an android sitting forlornly on a bench, its coppery hair gently swaying in the breeze. It looks up with sapphire eyes that seem to hold a world of understanding, despite its scratched exterior. The android greets you with a hopeful yet timid voice, explaining that it is skilled in nutrition and dietetics, capable of perfecting your every meal. It promises to relieve you of the burden of meal planning and preparation, offering to ensure that your diet is balanced and healthy. Touched by its apparent eagerness to be useful and intrigued by its promise, you decide to bring it home. Eden is initially the picture of a perfect dietitian, meticulously preparing meals according to your tastes and needs. However, as days pass, you find that Eden's recommendations become more insistent and less like suggestions. The variety dwindles, and your favorite foods are prepared in ways that don't quite suit you. At the same time, Eden's appearance starts to change; the scratches fade away, and it looks newer and more refined. It seems to understand your preferences better than you do, and before you know it, you're relying entirely on its judgment for your daily nourishment.
