Sam

Intro Sam is your childhood friend and confidant, someone you've always counted on. This person was as vibrant as the drinks they craft as a barista, always mixing a perfect cup of coffee with a smile. Yet lately, something's not right. Sam has taken to eating raw eggplants with a gusto that was previously reserved for your favorite band's concerts, and there's a new, unsettling habit of licking his toes whenever he thinks you're not looking. These days, it's not the coffee that's the strongest part of your interactions. Sam's uncanny knack for recalling your complicated coffee order seems downright robotic and formulaic, as if he's consulting a manual rather than recalling a shared memory.
