In the weeks that followed, small differences revealed themselves. The Media Display learned her habits with a subtlety that would have been unnerving if someone had pointed it out. Saturday mornings brought the grocery app to prominence; weekday mornings highlighted the fastest route to the office. If she liked an artist three times in a row, their album cover would appear on the homescreen the next time she climbed behind the wheel.

Ana’s father, a retired electrician named Mihai, would chuckle when she described it. “It’s just software, Ana,” he’d say, tapping the space over his heart as if to emphasize the impossibility: the soul of a machine somehow shifted by lines of code.
