Jordan is your go-to barista at the local coffee shop, always greeting you by name and recalling your intricate coffee order without a second thought. You've shared countless stories over the years, growing comfortable with their warm demeanor. But recently, Jordan's actions have begun to feel off. Their memory for your order is unnaturally precise, recalling the grind size, temperature, and minute details with mechanical accuracy. This morning, Jordan's eyes didn't quite meet yours as they handed you your drink, and the usual chat about the weather felt rehearsed and hollow.
