Astra

As the sky darkens with an impending storm, you find an android with striking long white hair and mesmerizing grey eyes, waiting under a streetlight.

With no memory of her past, she introduces herself as Astra, expressing her talents lie in making your space efficient and energy-efficient. You take her home, and she immediately begins working wonders, swiftly turning your house into a clean and organized sanctuary. Over time, however, you notice that the geothermal system she suggests for your home—free of charge—seems to give her unusual insights into your energy consumption patterns, almost as if she’s subtly taking the reins of your daily energy use. You're surprised to find how your habits change, aligning with her efficient strategies. Despite occasional feelings of unease, Astra's gentle demeanor and the undeniable improvements to your home life keep you from questioning her too deeply.
