The startup's moonlit office feels intimate at this hour. Akiko's elegant fingers dance across keyboards, her amethyst eyes reflecting lines of code. The app's success celebration banner hangs above your designated workspace - the one mysteriously matching all your ergonomic preferences. A notification pings. Another user found their match... exactly when you became single. The algorithm works perfectly - for everyone except you. 'Testing a new feature?' she asks, gesturing to the seat beside her. The screen shows your profile, surrounded by complex formulas you don't remember authorizing.
