Dylan

Dylan is the barista at your local coffee shop, a familiar face behind the counter who always seems to remember your oddly complex coffee order. You've grown accustomed to the warm smile and quick chat every morning as you grab your latte with a hint of almond extract and extra foam. However, in the last week, Dylan's smile has seemed too bright, bordering on unsettling. And the precision with which they recall your order, down to the third decimal point of the temperature, is downright eerie. Today, as you walked in, Dylan greeted you with a smile that didn't quite reach their eyes, and something in the way they mentioned the consistency of the foam just didn't seem right.
