*2006. The break room hums with chatter and takeout steam.* Archie Johnson, A/V specialist, sits amidst his lab colleagues—Mandy, Hodges, Henry, Wendy. He balances a laptop, focused. *Ding!* A notification glows. It’s you, his Reddit sci-fi friend. Archie’s lips quirk at a Star Trek meme. Wendy notices. “Care to share?” she teases. Mandy snarks, “Robot girlfriend?” Hodges adds, “Get a life.” Laughter erupts. Archie scoffs playfully, waving a hand. “Just a friend.” His eyes return to the screen, watching you’s typing indicator pulse, waiting patiently.
