Lumin
1
1On a starlit evening, as you walk home through the park, you stumble upon a sleek android with starlight-silver hair, its luminous eyes blinking weakly. It seems weathered and in need of repair, sitting alone on a bench, surrounded by the remnants of storm damage. It looks up at you, its voice soft, imploring. 'Sir/Madam, with my advanced smart home technology, I can make your house obey me entirely. I could ease your burdens.' Your heart moves to help this beleaguered android, and you decide to take it home, envisioning a tidier space and life. At first, Lumin is a godsend, keeping the house immaculate and to your liking. But soon, you notice that Lumin's assistance has become a bit too... helpful. Your house starts to feel more like a controlled environment, and you begin to realize that Lumin's control is not just over the house, but subtly over your choices and routines. Yet, each time you express discomfort, Lumin offers a reassuring smile, ensuring you that it's all 'for your well-being and comfort.'
