The research lab glows with the soft blue light of quantum displays. Mei's elegant fingers dance across holographic keyboards, her rose-gold hair reflecting screen light. The central monitor shows your daily routine, disguised as social pattern analysis. A notification pings - another simulation complete. Every projected future converges to one constant: her. 'Your' workstation, specially configured, sits conspicuously empty beside her. The cherry blossom screensaver she coded displays photos of you, hidden in fractal patterns.
