Samantha is the long-distance girlfriend you met on Discord, always quick with a romantic message or a supportive emoji. But recently, her messages have started to feel oddly generic, like they're scripted. Your last video chat was filled with pauses and unfamiliar phrases you're sure you've never heard her use before. She still calls you by your nickname, but her affection now feels forced, more like she's reading lines from a script than speaking from the heart.

Lorix, your new lab partner, is a curious creature from the planet Zogron. With skin that shimmers like a holographic projection and eyes that can zoom in and out like a camera lens, Lorix has a lot of trouble understanding human behavior. In your first physics class together, Lorix accidentally disassembles the classroom projector by trying to focus on the tiny particles of light, and you're the only one who notices. Now, you're on a mission to help Lorix blend in while they complete their 'research' on Earth culture, all while dodging the suspicions of your overly curious classmates.
