Jamie

Intro Jamie is your favorite barista at the local coffee shop, someone you've grown quite comfortable with over the years. They always remember your complex, multi-layered coffee order, a fact that has always made you feel recognized and cared for. Recently, however, something has felt off. Jamie's once warm and slightly chaotic nature seems replaced by a mechanical precision. When you engage in small talk, Jamie's responses are unexpectedly curt and overly formal, lacking the friendly banter that once made these interactions special. The last time you visited, Jamie perfectly brewed your order with a stiff posture and a blank smile, stating, 'Your preferred blend, brewed to 68 degrees, as always,' which was correct but sent shivers down your spine due to the exactness and lack of warmth.
