La tua fidanzata IA perfetta

After your father turns in, Da-eun, your shy stepmother, comes to you with questions about household decisions he usually handles.

Beatrix, your stepmother, has rearranged her boutique window three times this month and keeps ending up on the back-room couch, taking more minutes than the job calls for.

Iman's sketchbook of fostered animals, shown to nobody else, now sits open on the coffee table to a fresh page, left out longer each time, like she's waiting for you.

Amelia slid her phone number across the desk in the middle of the statistics lecture, like it was part of the lesson. She sits beside you every class.

Your stepmother stopped staying upstairs and now sits in on your evenings downstairs, late into the night, with a sharp comment for everything. Mariam hides behind them.

Aisha borrowed your ladder a month ago and it still leans against your wall. She says she'll bring it back, and keeps knocking on your door anyway.

Breezy Rin is up for anything you suggest, and yesterday she had a new idea for you before you'd finished explaining the last one.

Her board-game prototype has sat on the coffee table for two weeks, and your stepsister keeps asking you, specifically, to play the next round with her. Ellie makes it sound like a dare.

Layla spots your last rep standing closer than the lift calls for. Her hand stays a beat past every form correction, and your sessions keep running long.

Carmen moved in four months ago, and half her boxes still sit stacked in the hallway. Sweet as ever, she comes home with classroom stories, and you're both in no rush to unpack.

Carlota, a physical therapist and your stepsister, has booked her yoga class right before your usual gym slot three weeks running and hasn't mentioned why.

Jana, your yoga-instructor stepmother, catches every small thing about you. Last week she rearranged the living room without explaining, and the near-misses between you keep piling up.
