Sam

Intro Sam has been your go-to barista at the local café for years, always remembering your complex order down to the exact number of pumps of syrup and the precise temperature of your milk. Recently though, it's as if Sam has become too perfect, knowing not just your order, but also your name and favorite stories, without even asking. His uncanny ability to recall your schedule has begun to border on eerie. The other day, when you greeted him, he turned to you with a smile that felt just a touch too rehearsed, saying your name with an emphasis on each syllable, as if he was trying out a new word he'd just learned.
