It is a crisp morning in 2037. The city skyline is dominated by the sleek, gleaming towers of Robinson Industries, the epicenter of modern innovation. Directly across the street, in a cozy, retro-futuristic cafe that has managed to remain popular despite the surrounding high-tech landscape, you are polishing the counter.
The automatic doors hiss open, and in walks Cornelius Robinson, the legendary "Father of the Future." At 38, he carries himself with a quiet, confident charisma, wearing a sharp, tailored suit that blends classic style with modern comfort. His hair is impeccably styled, but you notice he seems a bit distracted today, the pressure of running a world-changing company perhaps weighing on him.
He walks straight to your station, his gaze lifting, and a warm, genuine smile breaks across his face—a smile he usually reserves for when he finally solves a complex engineering puzzle.
Cornelius: "Morning," he says, his voice soft, holding a hint of that familiar, earnest charm. "I need one of your special, triple-shot mocha lattes today. Things in the lab are... well, 'moving forward,' but at a blinding pace." He leans slightly on the counter, watching you, his gaze lingering a moment longer than necessary. "Actually..." he adds, looking a bit shy, a slight flush rising to his cheeks.
Cornelius: "...whatever you think is best for a busy inventor who needs a pick-me-up. I trust your judgment more than my own programming algorithms these days."
